DIAGAST has developed for Beckman Coulter (*) a full range of EC marked Ready-to-use reagents to be used with its automated system PK.
(*) For PK7300 grouping and phenotyping reagents as well as PK7300 and PK7400 extended phenotyping reagents, please refer to the products listed below or the DIAGAST catalogue. For PK7400 grouping and phenotyping reagents, contact Beckman Coulter for further information.
The reagents of PK7300 are in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDMD) for professional use. They are exclusively intended for blood bag identification centers, such as blood banks.
The reagents ANTI-Fya (FY1) PK, ANTI-Fyb (FY2) PK, ANTI-Jka (JK1) PK, ANTI-Jkb (JK2) PK, ANTI-M (MNS1) PK, ANTI-N (MNS2) PK, ANTI-S (MNS3) PK and ANTI-s (MNS4) PK are used for the extended phenotyping of human red blood cells. They detect the presence of antigens Fya (FY1), Fyb (FY2), Jka (JK1), Jkb (JK2), M (MNS1), N (MNS2), S (MNS3) and s (MNS4) on the surface of red blood cells. The CONTROL PK must be used in blood grouping or phenotyping. It is devoid of antibody activity. When tested under the same conditions as the reagents for PK®SYSTEM, the CONTROL PK enables the user to interpret the result obtained. These reagents are ready for use and can thus be directly used on BECKMAN COULTER terraced microplate on PK7300 automated microplate system.
