This company announces an enhancement to the PK TP System, an in-vitro diagnostic microhemagglutination test to be used in qualitative screening for the detection of Treponema Pallidum (TP) antibodies in human serum or EDTA plasma. The PK TP System will allow blood donor centers to perform syphillis screening on EDTA donor samples up to five days after collection. Previously, samples had to be tested within two days.
     The PK TP System is used on the PK200 automated microplate system.
