New Reagent Red Cell Products Unveiled at Annual Blood Banking Meeting

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 03 Nov 2014
Four new reagent red cell diagnostic products were unveiled at a blood banking meeting.

The annual meeting of the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) that was held in Philadelphia, PA, USA from October 25–28, 2014, was selected for the launch of new red cell reagent diagnostic products produced by Quotient Limited (St Helier, Jersey).

The four new products are: (1) ALBAcyte Expanded Rh Negative Antibody Screen, (2) ALBAcyte Antibody Identification Panel (16-cell), (3) ALBAcyte Antibody Screen (two-cell), and (4) ALBAzyme Papain Solution Kit.

The ALBAcyte Expanded Rh Negative Antibody Screen will be of particular use with pregnant, Rh-negative women who have been treated with Rh immunoglobulin. More...
Its Rh-negative cells detect all the unexpected antibodies required of traditional screens. The ALBAcyte Antibody Identification Panel (16-cell) is a full antibody identification panel with six complementary cells. The ALBAcyte Antibody Screen (two-cell) is a robust antibody screen for those laboratories that prefer a two-cell screen, or frequently test pediatric or other small-volume samples. Red cells incorporated in this product have been carefully selected to maximize homozygosity, thus optimizing the detection of antibodies. The ALBAzyme Papain Solution Kit is a kit combining both papain and enzyme control, which pairs with the existing papain-treated ALBAcyte Antibody Identification Panel (10-cell), to better allow laboratories to treat and test auto-controls and patient samples.

"These four new products expand our reagent red cell offering, including the addition of a number of novel products," said Jeremy Stackawitz, president of Quotient Limited. "Quotient's product offering can now address all the needs of the vast majority of blood bank laboratories, truly making it a one-stop-shop for reagent red cells."
