  • The “Column Agglutination Technology” or CAT, which automates blood grouping, typing and antibody cross match. 
  • The patented thin-film MicroSlide technology for biochemical estimations on the Vitros chemistry systems that eliminates the use of water & eradicates manual errors while delivering better patient outcomes.
  • The patented Enhanced Chemiluminescence Technology for immunoassay testing on the Vitros ECi platform that increases the sensitivity and specificity of the assays.
  • The Ortho-Chiron co-development of the first HCV antibody test for blood screening which made the world blood supply safer by leaps & bounds.
  • The introduction of an HCV Antigen assay on the ELISA format that reduces the window period of HCV infection substantially and helps make the transfusions safer.
