Flowscore is a cost-effective, sensitive, and specific flow-cytometric surrogate of red blood cell (RBC) quality during storage

Image from Licence Details: Flowscore is a cost-effective, sensitive, and specific flow-cytometric surrogate of red blood cell (RBC) quality during storage

Applications: Blood banking, haematology, transfusions

Oxygen release from RBCs is critical for tissue oxygenation but is sensitive to metabolic rundown and shape changes taking place under storage (storage lesion) with implications for patient outcomes.

Features Benefits
  • >80% sensitivity, specificity and accuracy as a marker of RBC storage lesion.
  • Improved quality control of stored blood for transfusion.
  • Calculated using a simple algorithm based on measurements from established haematological analysers.
  • Easily integrated into haematological analysis software.
  • Performance tested in four national blood banks.
  • Robustness of algorithm confirmed in relevant clinical settings.

Patented and available for:

  • Licensing
  • Co-development
  • Consulting
