The National Center for Blood Group Genomics (NCBGG) provides DNA-based array testing for extended blood typing for donors and patients:
- Automation increases accuracy
- Provides more information
- Provides information for antigens not possible with serology
- Ability to find uncommon antigen combinations
- in “real time” donor unit available in liquid inventory
- Identification of rare units
- Ability to detect weak antigens
- 15 years experience with DNA approach
- highly reproducible and correlated with serology
