title: New testing approaches in transfusion medicine.
abstract: A revolution has occurred in the availability of molecular diagnostic technology in the last decade. We are just now beginning to bridge the gap between research and the availability of rapidly licensed clinical assays. Many of these new technologies will be useful in the general practice of transfusion medicine. Some of these techniques may be discarded as impractical. However, many of these methods should prove to be useful in clinical transfusion research and diagnosis.
