During the fall of 2022, a dialogue was initiated between Glycorex and Bio-Rad to evaluate Glycosorb® ABO as part of their manufacturing process for polyclonal reagents for rare blood groups. Donor plasma containing the specific antibody is used to produce these reagents. Since donors are typically of blood groups O, A, or B, this means that the plasma also may contain anti-A/B antibodies that can interfere. These antibodies are thus unwanted and need to be adsorbed.
Having now evaluated Glycosorb® ABO for specific adsorption of anti-A/B antibodies, Bio-Rad has observed that their production can be streamlined while eliminating the risk of backorders. Therefore, Bio-Rad has decided to routinely start using Glycosorb® ABO for this purpose.
The estimated order value at present constitutes a minor portion of Glycorex's total revenue, but it serves as a valuable validation for the company's product.

Brief information about the company
Glycosorb® ABO is one of the company's self-developed proprietary medical devices that is used to facilitate blood group-incompatible transplantation by specifically reducing anti-A/B antibodies in the organ recipient's plasma. Whilst primarily used to facilitate blood group incompatible kidney transplants, Glycosorb® ABO is also used in blood group incompatible liver-, heart-, lung-, and stem cell transplants. More than 60 scientific papers have been published in reputable medical journals, showing excellent short- and long-term outcomes of blood group incompatible transplants performed with Glycosorb® ABO. Glycosorb® ABO has been used in more than 6,000 transplants in over 25 countries. In addition to
The company has also developed a CE-marked medical device product for the production of universal (low titer) blood products and is collaborating with a leading European research institute to develop a product for the treatment of the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis.
