    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
    been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles for interim financial information and with the
    instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 
    Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
    footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
    complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
    adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
    necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
    results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, are
    not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
    the year ended December 31, 1997.  For further information, refer
    to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
    included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
    year ended December 31, 1996.

    The balance sheet at December 31, 1996, has been derived from the
    audited financial statements at that date but does not include all
    of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
    accounting principles for complete financial statements.

3.  Acquisition

    On January 1, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets of the
    Blood Group Serology Division of Organon Teknika Corporation
    located in West Chester, Pennsylvania, for $4,500,000 in cash. 
    Another $229,000 of costs associated with the acquisition were
    capitalized in the first nine months of 1997.  The Company funded
    the acquisition, in part, from the privately placed sales of
    500,000 shares of its Common Stock to a group of accredited
    investors and, in part, from the proceeds of a $3.5 million credit
    facility.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.

4.  Earnings per Share

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
    Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be
    adopted on December 31, 1997.  At that time, the Company will be
    required to change the method currently used to compute earnings
    per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the new
    requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the
    dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact of
    Statement 128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per
    share for these periods is not expected to be material.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION &
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Acquisition of Blood Group Serology

On January 1, 1997, the Company purchased certain assets of the Blood
Group Serology Division (referred to as "BCA") of Organon Teknika
Corporation for $4,500,000 in cash.  This acquisition will have a
significant impact on the Company's future operating results and
financial condition.  This acquisition has approximately doubled the
number of employees of the Company and substantially increased the
Company's sales.

Results of Operations

Sales increased by $2.3 million, or 115%, to $4.3 million for the
three-month period and increased by $6.8 million, or 116%, to $12.7
million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, compared
with the corresponding periods of 1996.  While the majority of the
increases were due to the acquisition of BCA, sales from the core
hemostasis business grew approximately 8% for the nine-month period as
a result of the addition of a direct sales force and new distribution
agreements.

Costs of sales increased $1.5 million and $4.6 million for the 1997
periods compared with the respective 1996 periods.  As a percentage of
sales, year-to-date cost of sales increased to 59% in 1997 compared
with 49% in 1996.  The percentage increase in cost of sales was due
almost entirely to the excess manufacturing capacity that currently
exists at the Company's newly-acquired BCA facility in West Chester,
Pennsylvania.  Management intends to capitalize on this opportunity by
attempting to grow market share of existing products and adding new,
profitable product lines.

Selling, general, administrative and other expenses increased by 68%
and 78% for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997,
respectively, compared with the same periods in 1996.  The majority of
these increases were due to the BCA acquisition.  The Company also
added management positions during 1996 in anticipation of ongoing
internal growth and acquisition activities.  Furthermore, significant
transitional costs associated with the BCA acquisition and costs
related to the installation of new computer hardware and software were
incurred in the first half of the year.  These transitional costs ended
during the third quarter as anticipated.

Interest expense for the nine months of 1997 increased $186,000 over
the prior year period as a result of bank financing for the BCA
acquisition.




<PAGE>
Income tax expense for the first nine months of 1997 includes a benefit
related to utilization of domestic NOL carryforwards.  It is
anticipated that all NOL benefits will be utilized in 1997, which will
have the effect of decreasing net income beginning the first quarter of
1998.  Income tax expense for the 1996 periods was significantly lower
than in 1997 due to the recognition of additional deferred tax
benefits.

Earnings per share were flat for the nine months of 1997 as compared to
1996, in spite of higher net income as a result of: (1) the issuance of
500,000 shares of Common Stock related to the purchase of BCA, and (2)
relatively higher market prices for the Company's Common Stock, which
had the effect of increasing the number of equivalent shares
outstanding.

Financial Condition

The Company's liquidity and capital resources remained strong into the
third quarter of 1997.  Working capital as of September 30, 1997, was
$6.1 million, with a current ratio of 3.4 to 1.  Approximately $600,000
of the Company's cash was used to establish working capital for the BCA
operations which were purchased without accounts receivables and
payables.  The total debt to equity ratio at September 30, 1997, was
33%, and $646,000 in principal was paid during the first nine months of
1997.  The Company's management believes that the current availability
of cash, lines of credit, working capital, and cash flow from
operations are adequate to meet the Company's needs for at least the
next twelve months.  The Company continues to seek potential
acquisitions and potential sources of capital to finance such
acquisitions, although it has no commitments for either at this time.
