RC-Aid (Red Cell Antibody Identification) was initially conceived by a transfusion service medical technologist interested in creating an easier, more reliable method for identifying red cell antibodies. By partnering with BBK Technology, a software development firm specializing in medical laboratory solutions, RC-Aid was developed.

BBK Technology is revolutionizing the medical community with RC-Aid. RC-Aid enables quick response laboratories, transfusion services, and reference laboratories to take control of antibody identification by providing technology that delivers on the promise of improved efficiency and greater safety through enhanced selection of antigens for testing and analysis, paperless ePanels, laboratory-wide ID oversight and frozen inventory management.

RC-Aid’s clinical strength is well proven in the three years it's been on the market. The product's Web-based software includes several built-in features that facilitate the medical technologist with selecting the best reagents for testing, an expanded ability to analyze the results, ePanel distribution for electronic review and storage, and easy maintenance of the frozen and non-frozen reagent inventory.

The principles of better patient care and increased transfusion safety were driving forces behind the development of RC-Aid. The product's advanced platform incorporates innovative features with powerful new capabilities, providing reference labs and transfusion services with a flexible environment for the future of antibody identification.
