Lifecodes

Lifecodes is a leading provider of molecular and antibody-based diagnostic solutions focused on the fields of transplant and transfusion medicine. Originally a pioneer in DNA fingerprinting, the company evolved into a specialist in Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing and antibody detection to improve donor-recipient matching. Its product portfolio includes Luminex-based assays for HLA typing, screening, and identification, as well as platelet antibody testing. Currently operating as a brand under Immucor (a Werfen company), Lifecodes' technologies are essential for reducing the risk of graft rejection in organ and bone marrow transplants. The company's products are used globally by histocompatibility and immunogenetics laboratories to ensure patient safety and transplant success.
