The VERAX is a high-performance yet affordable solution for general laboratory Raman analysis. Offering ample resolution in the fingerprint region (4cm-1), the VERAX is an ideal complement to FT-IR measurements. The spectrometer is based upon a rugged spectrograph dedicated to a single spectral range. A large 200 µm round fiber aperture is converted to a 60 µm rectangular slit via a ...

The Company’s first product is the Platelet PGD Test for the detection of bacterial contamination in platelets. It is the only rapid test cleared by the FDA as a Safety Measure for leukoreduced apheresis platelets in plasma, or platelet additive solution as well as prestorage pooled platelets within 24 hours prior to transfusion. Other tests for the detection of bacteria are typically ...

Verax’s patented Pan Genera Detection (PGD) technology is based on the insight that recent advances in the field of immunotherapeutic agents can be used to develop tests to detect the broad array of bacteria in blood components. This broad detection is based on the existence of shared, or conserved, antigens that are common to the cell walls of the two broad classes of bacteria – ...

Verax is currently developing a version of its PGD test to address the risk of bacterial contamination in red blood cells. While the risk of red blood cell contamination is lower than the risk of platelet contamination, at 1:20,000, it is the second largest infectious risk for the nation’s blood supply and far exceeds the risk associated with transfusion-transmitted viruses such as HIV, ...

Stem cells, activated leukocytes and other cellular therapies are another area of obvious applicability for PGD technology as these cells are grown in media that also support bacterial proliferation. As with platelets and red blood cells, current techniques for the detection of contaminating bacteria before transplantation are limited to existing microbiological techniques such as culture and ...
