​Platelets represent a critical component of the body’s clotting function and are one of the most commonly transfused of all blood components. Correct determination of platelet type and the presence of antibody to platelet antigens as a bar to platelet transfusion, provides important information to clinicians and transfusion professionals.  With the addition of platelet antibody and platelet typing assays to Immucor’s product portfolio, we continue our mission to provide the best-in-class products that will lead to transfusions that are safe, accessible and affordable.
