Key Issues in blood donation screening

Sensitivity

• Multiple antigens per virus
• Each antigen on separate bead set
  
• Performed as stand-alone assay
  
• In simultaneous assay mix

Specificity

• Recombinant DNA Antigens
• Each antigen on separate bead set
• Matched monoclonal antibodies
• Single bead reading

Automation

• Eliminate wash steps
• Using special buffers (patent filed)
• Step volumes .. x 25ul
• 3 reagents
• 3 incubations
• 90 min total assay time
