RAPID QUALITY CONTROL FOR PLATELETS

Blood Banks

Platelets have a short shelf life and the highest contamination risk of any transfusable blood component, which makes reliable quality control methods essential to protecting patients.

Reliable Blood Bank Solutions

With quality control testing solutions from bioMérieux, blood banks can ensure the safety of platelets, extend shelf life up to seven days, cut down on costly discards, and improve availability of life-saving resources.

Our range of solutions has been specifically designed and FDA cleared to address blood bank needs while contributing significantly to improving laboratory workflow and increasing the safety of blood products.
