Our Laboratory of Immunohematology provides reference laboratory services and consultation to assist hospitals and other referral laboratories in the resolution of patient antibody problems to locate suitable units of blood for transfusion. These laboratories combine state-of-the-art methods in serological investigation and DNA blood group analysis to resolve complex cases, determine clinical significance, and provide consultation for selection of blood for transfusion. The lab maintains one of the largest collections of well-characterized cells and sera to identify antibodies and rare blood types.

Additional Resources & Lab Forms

NYBCe’s Laboratory of Blood Group Genomics offers DNA testing for red cells, platelet, and neutrophil antigens. The laboratory offers the most extensive testing available in the country for molecular analysis of blood group systems. The results are interpreted by staff experienced and knowledgeable in both genetics and immunohematology. The most common indications include typing recently transfused patients, patients with sickle cell disease and thalassemia, RhD or HPA typing OB patients and the fetus (from amniocytes) and, typing for antigens for which there are no reagents.
