BLOOD TYPING

Antibody Screening (CE Approved)

Transfuse with confidence while experiencing how simple and efficient screening for unexpected antibodies can be.

Antibody Screening

Predicting if patients have antibodies that could be incompatible with donor red blood cells is easy with Grifols solutions. A variety of reliable tests with increasing complexity mean you can create testing strategies from serology giving you control in gel and in tube.
