More than 3 million tests per year

Our mission is to ensure the quality and safety of all products, and that is why we perform the necessary analyses throughout the entire process: from donation to transfusion or transplantation.

What do we do?

We analyse all blood, milk, tissue, and cell donations to ensure they are optimal for recipients, both in terms of quality and safety.

One of our main priorities is to ensure that donations do not transmit infectious diseases, and in this sense, we are vigilant about new emerging diseases due to climate change.

We are responsible for HLA typing of all volunteer bone marrow donors and umbilical cord donations, which is essential to find a compatible donor for each recipient in need of a transplant.

Our laboratories are leaders in various areas of knowledge such as serology, immunohematology, immunology, microbiology, genomics, molecular biology, and cellular biology.

We receive samples from hospitals across the region to analyse complex cases, for example, related to rare blood groups or congenital coagulopathies.

We are a reference in Catalonia for performing fetal RhD genotyping in maternal blood, a non-invasive test that allows determining if RhD-negative pregnant women need to receive anti-D immunoglobulin to avoid the risk of haemolytic disease of the newborn.
