The gel card for column agglutination is essential for determining and researching blood groups, irregular antibodies and crossmatching tests. Clear Card Technology is the result of the combination of a gel treatment technique and a redesign of the format of the reaction column, establishing a new concept for a new product: DG Gel®.
Grifols DG Gel® is the new generation of gel cards which is at the cutting edge of column agglutination techniques. The technology which has been developed, the optimization of the column design, the exclusive format of the card, the stability of the reagents and the unique 8-column format are clear improvements which deliver clear results in pre-transfusion tests.
Studies conducted at a number of different centers have confirmed these advances and have established the new DG Gel® card’s reputation among health professionals as setting standards for routine use in blood banks.
The DG Gel® cards and the WADiana® Compact autoanalyzer constitute an integrated system for fully automating processes in immunohematology laboratories and hospital blood banks.
The system can perform the following steps through integrated and continuous process:
