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 $200,000 of costs associated with the acquisition were
    capitalized in the first quarter 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 is
    expected to result in an increase in primary earnings per share
    for the first quarter ended March 31, 1997 of $0.01 per share,
    with  no change to the 1996 period.  The impact of Statement 128
    on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for these
    quarters is not expected to be material.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


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.  It is anticipated that this
acquisition will approximately double the size of the Company in terms
of the number of employees, sales, and operating activities.

Results of Operations

Sales increased by $2.3 million, or 130%, to $4.1 million for the
period ended March 31, 1997, compared with the corresponding period of
1996.  While the majority of the increase was due to the acquisition of
BCA, the core hemostasis business grew approximately 15% over the same
period as a result of the addition of a direct sales force and new
distribution agreements.

Costs of sales, as a percentage of sales, increased to 61% in 1997
compared with 51% in the same 1996 period.  This increase is due
entirely to the acquisition of BCA, which has excess capacity at this
time.  Management anticipates to capitalize on this opportunity by
growing market share of existing products and adding new, profitable
product lines.

Selling, general, administrative and other expenses in the first
quarter of 1997 doubled over the same period in 1996.  The majority of
this increase was 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 current period.  Some of these transitional costs will
continue into the second and third quarters of this year.

Interest expense for the first quarter of 1997 increased $69,000 over
the prior year period as a result of the BCA acquisition.

Income tax expense for the first quarter of 1997 includes a benefit
related to utilization of domestic NOL carryforwards.  In the first
quarter of 1996, an income tax benefit was recognized as a result of
the utilization of domestic and foreign NOL's.








<PAGE>
Financial Condition

The Company's liquidity and capital resources remained strong into the
first quarter of 1997.  Working capital as of March 31, 1997, was $5.6
million, with a current ratio of 3.4 to 1.0.  Approximately $1.3
million of cash was converted into BCA accounts receivable during the
current quarter.  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 in the
foreseeable future.  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.
