Treatment & Procedures

  • Therapeutic Apheresis
  • Blood Donor Services
  • Component Preparation facility
  • Immunohematology Laboratory
  • Infectious disease screening Laboratory

Therapeutic Apheresis

  • Plasma Exchange
  • Peripheral stem cell collection
  • Red cell Exchange
  • LDL Apheresis
  • Immunoadsorption using Specific Columns in ABO incompatible solid organ transplants.

The therapeutic use of apheresis technology is done to remove disease causing substances or blood components and providing supportive and therapeutic solutions using state of the art apheresis equipment. We are involved in advances in transfusion medicine.
