Good morning all,

I'm a fairly recent graduate (less than a year) currently working in the blood bank of a level 1 trauma hospital in the southeastern US. I work 7pm-7am and during our slow periods I've taken to browsing this forum and a few other BB sites in an effort to increase my blood banking knowledge. I've already learned a lot and look forward to learning more.

New Product A vein attempt at promotion...I have a product designed for the blood industry that everyone should be using. Its the BioRest and can be seen at www.thebiorest.com . It has been tested and proven to be an excellent addition in the drawing of blood and blood products. When safety and comfort are a concern, BioRest is the leader in its field. Feel free to contact me should you have an interest in knowing more about it. It will be on exhibit at the AABB show in Baltimore in October. pmcintyre@thebiorest.com

I have read some paper about Del , it appears more than 90% in r'r phenotype cells.
We all know the G antigen, it is the joint antigen of D and C antigen.
So, I have a question: Does the Del is in real a G antigen?:):):)

Our lab just purchased 3 Helmer EBA 21 centrifuges, with swing-out style rotor for 12 x 75 tubes rather than fixed angle. We currently use some aging Serofuges - - we are used to seeing our cell button toward the side of the tube. The new fangled ones have the button lower in the tube, almost on the bottom. Is this an issue, or just something we need to adjust to??:confused:

Thanks for any input!

Just wondering to what extent folks are drafting agreements or shared SOPs with other departments within the hospital. I am particularly finding it difficult to convince senior manager that there also be one with the hospital IT department to clarify arrangements, - but this is probably a losing battle.

Any ideas??

Thanks!
