Extended phenotyping reagents for BECKMAN COULTER PK7300 & PK7400 Automated Microplate Systems The reagents of PK7300 are in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDMD) for professional use. They are exclusively intended for blood bag identification centres, such as blood banks. The reagents ANTI-Fya (FY1) PK, ANTI-Fyb (FY2) PK, ANTI-Jka (JK1) PK, ANTI-Jkb (JK2) PK, ANTI-M (MNS1) PK, ANTI-N (MNS2) PK, ANTI-S (MNS3) PK and ANTI-s (MNS4) PK are used for the extended phenotyping of human red blood cells. They detect the presence of antigens Fya (FY1), Fyb (FY2), Jka (JK1), Jkb (JK2), M (MNS1), N (MNS2), S (MNS3) and s (MNS4) on the surface of red blood cells. The CONTROL PK must be used in blood grouping or phenotyping. It is devoid of antibody activity. When tested under the same conditions as the reagents for PK®SYSTEM, the CONTROL PK enables the user to interpret the result obtained. These reagents are ready for use for BECKMAN COULTER PK7300 & PK7400 automated microplate systems.
