small size blood grouping analyzer

[phungduyhai]

Hello,

I work for a distributor of clinical chem, immunoassay, hematology diagnostic instruments. The company has plan to expand its range of products, and I have been assigned to blood grouping analyzers. Could anyone please tell me in that field, which are the leading companies (in term of revenue and market share)? I read from the forum that people often talk about ProVue, Tango and Galileo. Are there any other brands? In addition, except for the Galileo Echo, most of the products are for high volume lab. Could you please tell me if there are any small-mid size analyzers?

Thank you very much

Best Regards,

Hai

Both Immucor's Galileo Echo (which uses Solid Phase technology) and Ortho's ProVue (which uses Gel technology) are appropriate for small to midsize labs. Contact the companies for specifics. There may be some other units too, but I am just not familiar with them.
