LIFECODES MACE Products

LIFECODES MACE products provide well-characterized monoclonal antibodies immobilized in the microwells which are used to capture the glycoproteins from platelets supplied by the user.  These products allow a user to detect and differentiate between antibodies that bind to the platelet-specific glycoproteins.  MACE kits provide tests that can be used for either antibody identification (if previously-typed platelets are utilized) or a platelet crossmatch (if potential donor platelets are utilized).1,2

  • Discriminates anti-platelet and anti-HLA donor/recipient reactions
  • Cross-match results aid in selection of appropriate platelet units
  • Identifies donor-specific anti-platelet antibodies
