The Effect of Conjugated Bilirubin on the Measurement of Unbound Bilirubin
ABSTRACT Aim Unbound bilirubin (Bf) is a stronger predictor of neurotoxicity in newborns than that of total serum bilirubin (TSB). Standard Bf assays rely on peroxidase methods (e.g., Arrows analyser), whereas UBCheck employs a near‐infrared fluorescence sensor.

Abstract Background Alloimmunization against D‐antigen can cause severe Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN). Traditionally, anti‐D‐titers are measured using a saline indirect antiglobulin test (tube testing). Anti‐D‐titers ≥8 during pregnancy trigger an escalation in maternal care. Tube testing is labor‐intensive and known for imprecision.
