Lot Information
HLA Specific Antibody Detection Systems - Testing kits and consumables,
The Histocompatibility and Immunology (H&I) department in SNBTS requires a contract for Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) specific Antibody testing. SNBTS own existing equipment previously acquired via capital purchase. Testing kits and consumables are required to perform the necessary tests. HLA antibody testing is performed on solid organ transplant patients during transplant work up, while listed for a deceased donor organ and in the post-transplant setting.
