Oh by the way. I saw some of you were looking for the white paper comparing the different methods. I've never been able to get my Ortho rep to provide me such papers but my Immucor rep had a few. The one I can think of off the top of my head is the Weisbach paper published in Transfusion in 2006. I know it's a little older but all three manufacturer's had automation platforms included in the study.

Hi. I've had the good fortune to use Gel cards and Immucor Automation (all platforms). I have friends who have used the Tango and others who have used the Provue. They are all good tools but in our discussions I have come to appreciate just how much more sensitivity, quality, flexibility, and speed one receives when using Capture platforms. There are some differences between the platforms including manual Capture, Galileo, Neo, and Echo, but as whole I would not go to another automated platform after having used the Immucor products.
