Specialty Products Complement Control Cells Confirmation of Anti-C3 activity Product Code: 0007930 (1 x 3 ml) Complement Control Cells are intended for use in confirming reactivity of the anti-c3 component of Anti-Human Globulin Intended for use with polyspecific and anti-complement DAT test Product ships every 2 weeks and has a 4 week outdate One reagent, multiple uses; Cost effective Ensures test validity and lab meets regulatory guidelines Stable reagent maintains reactivity for 4 weeks; Cost effective Gamma ELU-KIT II Rapid acid elution of antibodies from intact red blood cells Product Code: 0007861 Sufficient for 10 eluates The kit can be used in the preparation of eluates for the investigation of: Antibody identification from samples with a positive DAT Specimens containing multiple antibodies The presence of a weak antigen 2 year shelf life at time of manufacture reduces waste from outdating Built-in ph monitor; assures correct preparation of eluate without the need for other ph measuring devices W.A.R.M. Warm Autoantibody Removal Medium Product Code: 0057319 (10 x 5 ml) W.A.R.M. removes the autoantibody and reduces the strength of the positive DAT, which frees antigen sites for adsorption By comparing the results of the W.A.R.M. adsorbed serum with the results from the unadsorbed serum, the warm-reactive autoantibody can be identified No prewashing required; saves tech time One-step procedure eliminates the need for additional steps of washing and enzyme treatment of red cells; quicker turnaround time No additional enzyme treatment required since this occurs during antibody removal; saves time Gamma EGA Kit Removal of red cell bound immunoglobulin Product Code: 0007865 (20 tests/kit) Used for the removal of red cell immunoglobulins from a positive DAT sample, but leaves the antigen sites intact so a valid typing can occur The treatment also inactivates antigens of the Kell system. EDTA glycine-acid is also reported to destroy Er a and Bg antigens Room temperature storage Red blood cells are ready for testing in less than 5 minutes for quick resolution Assists in patient typing so that after successful treatment, valid typings can be obtained by the indirect antiglobulin test, saves technologist time and expense

Immucor provides your laboratory with the broadest range of specialty products for matching donor and recipient. Proficiency Kits Educate staff and monitor competency and proficiency regularly; reduce the probability of error Includes rare cases and positives not easily obtained, saves time and costs Provides valuable CE units for state licensure participant and/or PACE credits for testing* Gamma Tech-Chek Product Code: 0002999 1 CEU credit available* Staff members perform forward and reverse ABO/Rh, antibody screen, and antibody identification Product ships every 4 weeks Self-Check II Product Code: 0056169 2 CEU credits available* In addition to performing the tests associated with Tech-Chek the technologist must also perform phenotyping and crossmatching Product ships every 4 weeks RiSE Product Code: 0007999 3 CEU credits available* In addition to performing the tests associated with Self-Check II, the technologist must also perform a pre- and post-transfusion work-up Product ships quarterly *CEU and PACE credits available RESt Rabbit Erythrocyte Stroma (RESt) Removal of cold autoagglutinins Product Code: 0057316 (8 x 1 ml) Effectively adsorbs cold reactive autoagglutinins such as anti-i, anti-h or anti-ih to aid in the resolution of antibody workups Used as an alternative to cold autologous adsorption Safely adsorbs unwanted agglutinins from serums of recently transfused patients By not using the patient red cells, it eliminates the need for large quantities of patient red cells for autoadsorption Completes cold adsorptions without the need to pre-treat patient cells; saves time H.P.C. Removal of unwanted HLA-related antibodies Product Code: 0057320 (10 x 1 ml) Adsorbs unwanted anti-hla (Bg) or other platelet antibodies from specimens Assists in identification of clinically significant antibodies in the sera of multiparous women or transfused patients Rapid test procedure allows testing of adsorbed samples within 30 minutes; quick resolution Removes unwanted HLA-related antibodies from serum; reduces or eliminates interference and improves test results Gamma Lectin System Serological investigation of the major forms of erythrocyte polyagglutination by tube test Product Code: 0007870 (3 x 5 ml) Lectin system is used for the identification of the major forms of red cell polyagglutination Polyagglutination can lead to the possibility of false blood grouping reactions Contains: Arachis hypogea, Salvia sclarea, and Glycine soja No special preparation of the patient is required prior to specimen collection; quick resolution Easy-to-follow test procedure; easy adoption in the lab
