Blood Productsand Components

Versiti partners with hospitals and healthcare partners to deliver reliable access to safe, high-quality blood products—helping care teams make confident transfusion decisions when timing matters most.

Our Blood Products

Versiti’s blood products are designed to support safe, timely transfusion across a wide range of clinical needs, from routine care to highly specialized patient populations.

Computer generated red blood cells.

Red Blood Cells (RBCs)

Leukocyte-reduced RBCs are available across all ABO and Rh types, with washed, frozen, and deglycerolized options to support rare and transfusion-sensitive patients.

For complex cases, Versiti provides antigen-negative and rare RBC units backed by 24/7 Immunohematology Reference Laboratory support and access to the nation’s largest known genotyped donor pool, representing more than 300,000 donors.

Platelets

A comprehensive portfolio of platelet products is available to support bleeding management across routine and complex clinical scenarios, including pathogen-reduced, LVDS, cold-stored, pediatric aliquots, and HLA-matched or crossmatched units.

HLA- and HPA-Matched Platelet Products

Versiti offers HLA-matched platelets and HPA-matched platelets to support patients with alloimmune needs. To request matched platelets, submit a written order. Availability and turnaround times depend on patient refractoriness and current inventory. When compatible units are not available in general inventory, Versiti works to identify and recruit compatible donors.

Plasma

Multiple plasma options are available including frozen, divided, cryo-poor, and liquid plasma to meet a range of clinical needs. 

Cryoprecipitate (AHF)

Cryoprecipitate (AHF) provides concentrated clotting factors, including fibrinogen, to support patients with specific bleeding disorders or critical bleeding. Versiti offers both single-unit and pooled cryoprecipitate options to support a range of clinical needs.  

Low Titer O Whole Blood (LTOWB)

Group O Low Titer Whole Blood contains red blood cells, platelets, and plasma in a single unit to support rapid transfusion for bleeding patients. By providing multiple components together, LTOWB can streamline transfusion workflows and reduce time to treatment—an important consideration in emergent care. 

Research-Grade Blood Products

Versiti provides custom human blood products to support academic, clinical, and translational research. We deliver the highest- most well-characterized human blood products available as well as waste and non-transfusable blood products to enable research.

Antigen Query RealTime Identification of Antigen Negative Blood Units

Antigen Query provides real-time access to antigen-negative red blood cell availability within a hospital’s own inventory, helping the transfusion services team find compatible units faster. This proprietary, web-based tool reduces manual screening, additional testing, and reliance on external laboratories, so transfusion services can move quickly without added delays.

Versiti’s Immunohematology Reference Lab (IRL) provides specialized antibody identification and advanced serologic and molecular testing for complex transfusion cases. Led by expert reference lab physicians and specialists, the IRL delivers consultative interpretation and clinical support to help hospital teams resolve challenging cases and transfuse patients safely.  

TxMD Transfusion Medicine Resources
