Hemo Bioscience signs an agreement with the American Red Cross to become their exclusive distributor of Blood Grouping Reagents manufactured by the American Red Cross Diagnostic Manufacturing Division (DMD) in North America. The products included in the agreement are Anti-K, Anti-k, Anti-Kpa, Anti-Kpb, Anti-Fya, Anti-S, Anti-s, and Anti-M.
The addition of the Red Cross DMD Blood Grouping Reagents goes a long way to completing the current Hemo Bioscience line. “We, at Hemo Bioscience, are excited about this opportunity. The Red Cross DMD Blood Grouping Reagents are a perfect complement to our existing line. This agreement provides customers with the ability to purchase almost a full range of blood grouping reagents through one source,” says Noel Brown, President and CEO.
Hemo Bioscience is dedicated to providing Blood Banks with high-quality products and services. “We continue to expand our product line and look for partners like the American Red Cross where there are synergies that allow us to serve our customers better,” said Brown.
