A ten ‐color tube with dried antibody reagents for the screening of hematological malignancies
ConclusionsThe DST is an efficient solution for screening hematological malignancies with improved quality, productivity, standardization, and sustainability. These improvements could benefit patients by providing faster diagnoses using a higher quality and lower cost reagent. (Source: Clinical and Laboratory Haematology)

Bleeding score in Type 1 von Willebrand disease patients using the ISTH ‐BAT questionnaire
ConclusionThe ISTH‐BAT BS is designed to reflect the severity of bleeding. Our results demonstrate the inherent variability of this bleeding pattern. We also found that the ISTH‐BAT BS significantly correlated with VWF: Ag and VWF: CB. (Source: Clinical and Laboratory Haematology)

Multiple centre evaluation study of ADAMTS13 activity and inhibitor assays
ConclusionWith close attention to normal ranges, commercial kits are suitable for use in the clinical diagnosis of thrombotic microangiopathies and frozen transportation of samples between sites is a suitable approach. However, a robust external quality control system is essential to provide an independent evaluation of changes in kit production. (Source: Clinical and Laboratory Haematology)
