Blood bank gel centrifuge is a piece of equipment used in medical laboratories and blood banks for antibody screening and blood type testing. The centrifuge is specifically designed to ensure accurate and reliable results in these critical diagnostic procedures. With its advanced technology, the gel card centrifuge allows for quick and efficient grading.
Gel cards are considered easier to observe than solid phase strips by most technicians. By using gel-based cards, the centrifuge enables the identification and differentiation of antibodies present in the patient’s serum. This process is crucial for determining blood compatibility, identifying potential transfusion reactions, and ensuring the safety of blood transfusions.
Centrifuge operation is at a controlled speed and incorporates precise timing mechanisms to ensure consistent and reproducible test results. By carefully spinning the gel cards, the centrifuge combines patient or manufacturer serum and red cells.
The “lock and key” process help to identify and detect the presence of specific antibodies. Antigens are identified by diluting patient red cells to gel card manufacturer specifications. Experienced technicians may also visually dilute the patient red cells depending on samples hematocrit level.
The gel card centrifuge is designed with user-friendly features to simplify its operation. The centrifuge includes a digital display for easy monitoring of time and speed settings. Gel card centrifuge has a compact and space-saving design to fit seamlessly onto laboratory benchtop. Rotor design is for 12 cards verses a serofuge that holds 12 tubes.
Blood bank gel centrifuge plays a critical role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of antibody screening and antigen testing. Its advanced technology, precise separation capabilities, and user-friendly features make it an indispensable tool for scientist working in blood banks and research laboratories worldwide.
