• Automated Cell Washing Machine: This is one of the most advanced pieces of equipment that is used to speed up antibody searches and checks. It carries out functions such as antiglobulin test, ABO compatibility, Rh testing, Cross-Matching and so on.
• Blood Bank Automation System/ Automated Blood Bank System: It requires a mandated test for certain conditions such as HIV, Hepatitis B & C, Syphilis and Human T Cell Lymphotropic virus.  The system enhances efficiency and standardization of interpretation, increased transfusion safety, specimen batching and more. 
• Haematology Analyzers: These are done to run tests on blood samples. These provide a prompt and accurate countand identify or split blood cells into Red Blood Cells (RBC), White Blood Cells (WBC), Platelet Count, Haemoglobin Concentration, Haematocrit, RBC indices and Leukocyte. 
• Laboratory Centrifuge: Clinical centrifuges, Ultracentrifuges, Multipurpose high-speed centrifuges and Microcentrifuges are the different types of laboratory centrifuges available at the Blood Bank. Thesemonitor-drivenequipment spinblood samples at high-speedto separate substances of greater and lesser density.
• Plasma Freezer: Also known as Blood Bank Freezer, the plasma freezer is set at a certain temperature to allow the safe storage of frozen blood plasma or blood components. Chest Freezers and Shelf Freezers (Upright Freezers) are the two types of Plasma Freezersdesigned to meet the needs of patients at Apollo Sage Hospitals, Bhopal. 
• Platelet Incubators: These incubators provide precise and stable storage maintenance conditions for platelets and small cell fragments that play a major role in blood clotting and wound repair. These are available in compact units and large units to suit the institution’s capacity and have some of the best features such as motion failure alarms, circular chart recorders and more. 
• Platelet Shakers: Also known as platelet bag shakers, these are sophisticated units designed specifically to gently agitateplatelets in the pouch for optimal storage of critical, life-saving platelets. The shakers use a number of tray levels, allowing air circulation and ventilation to allow oxygen transfer to platelets. This ensures the preservation of platelet quality and efficiency and also allows easy extraction of the exact amount of platelets for transfusion.
