ThromboType®

For the molecular determination of Human Platelet Alloantigen alleles for HPA-1 (Pl^A), 2 (Ko), 3 (Bak), 4 (Pen), 5 (Br), 6 (Ca) and 15 (Gov)

ThromboType® is an alternative to platelet serological testing and an adjunct to HLA matching in selecting compatible platelets for alloimmunized recipients. ThromboType® contains the reagents necessary to perform allele-specific PCR on isolated genomic DNA and to identify an individual’s genotype for HPA-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 15, using a gel endpoint. As an accessory to the ThromboType® kits, Gen-Probe offers its EZ Type® System, providing a fast and economical, easy and convenient way to analyze your allele-specific PCR products.

• Pre-aliquoted and dried primers in 0.2mL PCR tubes
• Uses a robust assay — single PCR protocol for all seven polymorphisms
• Replaces older serological assays for platelet antigen determination
• Combines PCR with the EZ Type® System to offer fast and easy typing of HPA-1 thru 6 plus HPA-15 platelet antigens
• Can perform multiple typings in about two hours

Additional E-Gel®s (Cat# EGEL48) available in packs of three (3).

For In Vitro Diagnostic Use.
