Platelet PGD Test Brochure

The Company’s first product is the Platelet PGD Test for the detection of bacterial contamination in platelets. It is the only rapid test cleared by the FDA as a Safety Measure for leukoreduced apheresis platelets in plasma, or platelet additive solution as well as prestorage pooled platelets within 24 hours prior to transfusion. Other tests for the detection of bacteria are typically applied early in platelet unit life or ride their results for several days and have been demonstrated to offer detection rates of just 15-40%.
