Whitney Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Does anyone use a molecular method, like the BioArray BeadChip, to phenotype your donor units. If so are you labeling them as antigen negative or using this as a screen only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANKTECH Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Did you check with the manufacturer as to whether it is screening test vs test of record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHH1999 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 At this point I do not believe molecular testing is licensed. Molecular testing can be used for screening and investigating strange serological reactions. Since it is not licensed I do not think you can label the units. You would need to confirm the antigen typing with a licensed test method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Needs ☆ Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 We test our Do(a-b+) and Do(a+b-) units by molecular methods - or, rather, the IBGRL tests them for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
