Blood Typing

Transforming Extended Molecular Blood Group Antigen Typing

Blood group antigen genotyping, an attractive and transformative alternative to classical serology, is gaining rapid acceptance in immunohematology laboratories. Agena Bioscience^® provides a comprehensive collection of ready-to-use genotyping assays for extended antigen typing of erythrocytes, platelets, and neutrophils.

Our technology involves multiplex end-point PCR and single base primer extension followed by precise detection and automated measurement with the MassARRAY^® System. Hemo ID^® software converts assigned genotypes into predicted phenotypes and enables data visualization and custom report generation.
