- Since the test antibodies are inside the upper membrane, they never get in direct contact with the user. There is no risk of cross-contamination.
- Since the lower membrane absorbs the liquids of the test (PAD Buffer and sample), the risk of blood exposure is considerably lower.
- This simple protocol takes place in 3 steps and in 30 seconds.
The manual technique for blood group determination has long been the only alternative and the “1 drop – 1 drop” hemagglutination method the only reference. Over the years, DIAGAST has made this technique more specific and more sensitive (Arrival of monoclonal antibodies).

Blood Group Test using M-TRAP® Technology M-TRAP® Technology is based on the detection of antigen-antibody interaction on a porous membrane. Only the red blood cells having the corresponding antigen are fixed into the membrane revealing immediately the reaction. A breakthrough technology! The principle: The M-TRAP® Technology, patented by DIAGAST, relies on the superposition of membranes and has 2 major advantages: -
Manual Techniques from Diagast Historically, hemagglutination methods are performed with liquid reagents on slide, opaline plates or tube supports. See below for the Diagast manual techniques offering and full list of immunohaematology methods.
