Why It Matters
Each year, five million people in the U.S. alone need a blood transfusion and approximately 108 million units
of blood are collected globally. According to the Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation,
there were about 113,000 solid organ transplants in 2012 worldwide. With todays dual focus on improving
health outcomes and lowering healthcare costs, preventing negative reactions through better-matched
donations is the ultimate goal in transfusion and transplantation medicine. At Immucor, we harness the
latest breakthroughs in medical research and technology and our advanced diagnostic tools help prevent
mismatches that can cause serious, potentially life-threatening reactions. As a result of this investment,
we believe we help improve the lives of patients with better health outcomes, while potentially saving the
healthcare system millions in avoidable hospital in-patient and other medical costs associated with negative
transfusion or transplant effects.
We strive to create a world where anyone, anywhere in need of blood or an organ gets the
right blood or organ that is safe, accessible and affordable. We will be guided by our Core
Values of Respect, Integrity, Teamwork and Achievement. In doing so, we will:
strive to achieve the highest quality products and solutions;
bring forth and pursue innovations that advance patient safety
honor our customers with the highest level of service.

Our Portfolio
Transfusion Diagnostics
Serology:
Immucor manufactures and sells a complete line of manual and automated serology typing and screening
assays used by hospitals, reference labs and donor centers to determine the best match between a patient
and donor prior to blood transfusion. We have introduced an unprecedented four generations of proprietary
blood bank automation to the market. Our automated systems feature our exclusive Capture technology
and feature the broadest test menu available as well as instant access, high throughput and fast turnaround
times. Our current instrument offering includes Echo, an instrument specially designed for small-volume
laboratories with a compact footprint; and NEO, and instrument specially designed for high-volume
laboratories with the highest throughput available in the industry.
Molecular:
Immucor is at the forefront of bringing molecular methods to the immunohematology market. Our PreciseType
HEA test is the first in a line of personalized-medicine diagnostics that uncover the specific gene variants
associated with RBC antigens to provide the closest match possible between patient and donor.

Immucor manufactures and sells a complete line of assays,
marketed as LIFECODES, to hospitals and reference labs
to determine the best match between a patient and donor
prior to transplantation. Our molecular human leukocyte
antigen (HLA) typing tests and HLA antibody screening/
identification tests both run on the Luminex platform,
which has an install base of more than 1,000 instruments
worldwide in the transplantation field. Our recent acquisition
of kSORT broadens our transplant portfolio with new
assays designed to meet the increasing demand for posttransplant monitoring assays that detect graft-rejection.
