Versiti Blood Center of Indiana’s ASHI-accredited HLA lab provides testing necessary to support patients who need specialty platelets due to refractoriness to platelet transfusions. Services include:

• HLA and solid phase red cell adherence (SPRCA) matched platelets
• HLA Class I antibody and antigen determinations
• TRALI screening for blood donors
• HLA/HPA patient matching
• Parathyroid tissue cryopreservation

HLA matched platelets can be sent anywhere in the U.S. for refractory and difficult-to-match patients, as needed.

• Indiana HLA Hematology Order Form
• Indiana HLA TRALI Screen Order Form

Versiti Blood Center of Michigan’s specialized HLA lab offers tissue typing by DNA methods used in donor and patient transplant matching; evaluates disease associations; and finds HLA-matched platelet products for patients with special needs.
