Millipore’s blood typing reagents are made from human or murine monoclonal antibodies and are formulated in low protein diluents. These monoclonal reagents offer many advantages over polyclonal-based products. These advantages include:
- Highly specific – no risk of contaminating antibodies
- Lot to lot consistency
- Low biohazard risk
- IgM antibodies allow direct agglutination, react without the need for an indirect antiglobulin test and can be used to type cells with a positive direct antiglobulin test.
Millipore offers a wide range of monoclonal blood typing finished reagents compliant with the requirements of the European Directive 98/79/EC. The BIOSCOT® portfolio is supplied in a variety of commercial configurations: finished reagent bulk, unlabeled vials, or private trade dress. Whether the product is Millipore labeled or privately labeled (OEM), Millipore can assist with product and batch registration and/or CE marking where applicable.
BIOSCOT® labeled reagents are not available to customers in the US or Canada.
