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.
Gel card technology
Conventional techniques
Gel card technology
0.8% rRBCs organize your screening and make testing efficient no matter the size of your lab
DG Gel cards are the original 8-column agglutination technology (CAT). With DG Gel you can screen blood quickly and safely for antibodies, common and rare. DG Gel cards are the solution to the flexibility you need with seamless for manual, semi-automated and fully automated.
Screening reagent red blood cells and DG Gel mean your laboratory can perform routine and complex testing with complete confidence.
