GTI Diagnostics Gains FDA Clearance for ®DonorScreen-HLA on QuickStep®
(Aug 2008)

GTI Diagnostics has announced that it has received FDA clearance to market its ®DonorScreen-HLA on the QuickStep® Automated ELISA platform. ®DonorScreen-HLA is intended to be used by Blood Banks and other blood collecting agencies to test for the presence of HLA antibodies in serum or plasma of blood donors. GTI Diagnostics has built upon its extensive history in HLA antibody screening to produce ®DonorScreen-HLA, a kit specifically designed for use in Blood Banks. ®DonorScreen-HLA on QuickStep® has been tested in external studies conducted in Blood Bank laboratories.  The kit has been shown to detect class I and class II HLA antibodies in serum or plasma of blood donors. QuickStep® is an ELISA workstation with a proven track record in the clinical laboratory environment. Able to handle 4 plates and 176 samples at one time, QuickStep® provides full ELISA processing from sample dilution to result interpretation. Technician hands-on time has been reduced to a minimum and with bar coded reagent bottles that go directly from the kit to the instrument, ®DonorScreen-HLA is quick to set up and run. A recent advisory from the AABB has recommended that blood collection and transfusion facilities begin taking steps to reduce the presence of donor blood containing leukocyte antigen derived antibodies as a means to reduce the incidence of transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI). Many labs have begun testing (or will start testing) donated blood for leukocyte-derived antibodies as one way to meet this recommendation.
