IMMUNOHEMATOLOGY
Immunohematology is commonly referred to as blood banking, the area of laboratory medicine that ensures appropriate and compatible components for blood transfusions.
Ortho is the market leader in immunohematology, having pioneered life-impacting advances, from their earliest work in blood typing to the latest developments in laboratory systems. Ortho’s blood typing products help ensure every patient receives blood that is safe, the right type, and the right unit.
Every 2 seconds someone needs blood. We work to make the transfusion process safer and more efficient from donor to recipient with innovative donor screening solutions and continually evolving transfusion medicine automation. So you can help more patients in need of lifesaving blood—and help to keep them safer.
Immunohematology
ORTHO VISION® Analyzer
A blood banker’s job is critical, yet labs face growing pressure to find new efficiencies and do more with less. The ORTHO VISION® Analyzer was developed to meet the unique needs of immunohematology labs through the proprietary benefits of Responsive Automation. This analyzer not only raises the bar in transfusion medicine—it redefines it.
ORTHO AutoVue® Innova System
No matter how quickly you need to produce results or how much pressure you have to control costs, you know that no margin of error is acceptable in a blood bank. We designed the ORTHO AutoVue® Innova System to comprehensively address safety—from helping to reduce the potential for human error through increased automation and ease of use to increasing accuracy with dozens of additional process checks. So you can be ready to meet your toughest challenges with full confidence in the safety of your results.
ORTHO™ Workstation
Precision and accuracy are critical in labs of any size. The ORTHO™ Workstation is the only compact 2-in-1 blood testing system with reliable ORTHO BioVue® Column Agglutination Technology. It’s a system engineered to help ensure the accuracy your patients deserve—with the convenience and ease of use your lab needs.
Reagents
Help to safely, accurately, and efficiently screen patients—and deliver fast, accurate, standardised results, with proven and reliable reagents that integrate with the entire line of ORTHO products.
Reagent Types
ORTHO BioVue®Technology
Deliver incredibly fast, accurate, standardised results with the unique column agglutination technology (CAT) of the ORTHO BioVue® system—considered the gold standard for manual and automated blood bank testing. Used manually or with the fully automated ORTHO AutoVue® Innova System and ORTHO VISION™ Analyzer, the ORTHO BioVue® system is easy to use and ideal for both routine and specialised immunohematology testing.
Reagent Red Blood Cells
Be confident that the reagent red blood cells you use every day—in automation, column agglutination technology, or traditional tube testing—to detect blood group antibodies are available, effective, and reactive throughout their dated shelf life. As the largest manufacturer of reagent red blood cells in the world, we exercise tight control over the many steps of the reagent red blood cell production process—from donor selection to customer shipment—to help ensure your expectations are always met.
Traditional Reagents
Gain exceptional results with our full line of traditional reagents designed for use with tube-based testing. Monoclonal antisera and antihuman globulin were pioneered by Ortho nearly 20 years ago with the proven BioClone® system of monoclonal antibodies. These reagents provide improved potency, reliability, economy, and safety over polyclonal reagents.
Antibody Identification Software
Antibody identification is one of your lab’s most complex tasks. ORTHO RESOLVIGEN™ is expert software that supports expertise in your lab by providing information and guidance to help enable your lab personnel to evaluate results and make informed decisions.
