Platelet Antibody Screening
Platelet detection allows laboratories to determine compatibility between patient and donor prior to platelet transfusion. Our complete portfolio includes a variety of products for platelet antibody screening.
Capture-P® & Capture-P® Ready-Screen®
Platelet Detection with Options for Your Lab
Werfen’s complete platelet portfolio consists of two Capture-P products that allow your laboratory to complete platelet antibody detection (e.g., antibody screening or crossmatching) with the same methodology utilised for your routine red cell antibody screening.
Capture-P Ready-Screen
- Detects platelet-specific and HLA antibodies.
- Test wells are coated with platelets from 13 different donors so no platelets are required for testing.
Capture-P
- Utilised for platelet antibody detection (e.g., antibody screening or crossmatching).
- Provides quick results – samples are screened in as little as 25 minutes.
Pak Plus®
HLA/HPA Antibody Detection Assays for Improved Patient Care
- The PakPlus assay allows a user to detect antibodies that bind to the platelet-specific glycoproteins (IIb/IIIa, Ib/IX, Ia/IIa and IV) and Class I HLA.
- Detecting these antibodies offers the clinician the potential to better identify compatible blood products and improve patient care.
Pak Lx™
Save Time - Get Multiple Results With One Reaction
- Werfen’s Pak Lx product is a Luminex® based assay designed to detect and differentiate between IgG antibodies to Human Platelet Antigen (HPA-1, HPA-2, HPA-3, HPA-4, HPA-5, and GPIV) and Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) Class I in human serum.
- Data analysis is performed using the MATCH IT!® Platelet Antibody Software.
PakAuto®
Auto-Antibody Detection for Improved Patient Care
- PakAuto has been designed to detect autoantibodies to patient glycoproteins. These antibodies are eluted from the patient’s own platelets or found circulating in plasma.
- Detecting these antibodies offers the clinician the potential to better identify compatible blood products and improve patient care.
MATCH IT! Platelet Antibody Analysis Software
Streamline Your Data Analysis
The MATCH IT! Platelet Antibody Software is an accessory required for the evaluation of test results from Werfen’s Pak Lx Assay.
- Ability to differentiate at the HPA level.
- Various reporting options and formats.
- Automatic import of data into MATCH IT! Software – streamlining workflow for easy results interpretation.
