IMMUCOR, INC. 0064599 Galileo Neo

The Galileo Neo (NEO) is a microprocessor-controlled instrument to fully automate immunohematology in vitro diagnostic testing of human blood. The NEO automates test processing, result interpretation and data management functions. The NEO is designed to automate standard immunohematology assays using a microplate-based platform. Assays include ABO grouping and Rh (D) typing, detection/identification of IgG red blood cell antibodies, compatibility testing, red blood cell phenotyping, antigen screening and infectious disease screening, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV). The antigen screening assays provide guidelines for the user to select antisera or dilute commercial blood grouping reagents as a mechanism to pre-screen for antigen negative blood units that can then be subjected to confirmation using a licensed method.
