This process can be especially useful when the selected donor is already typed at a high level and the CT is only required to verify the HLA markers. To speed up the process even more, the CT can also be performed in our DKMS Life Science Lab.

How to send a request to the DKMS Registry
Via email/fax
DKMS Registry accepts requests by fax (fax no: +49 7071 943 2299) or workup@dkmsregistry.org for all services. For requests by fax or email, we recommend using WMDA forms, but we also accept other forms as long as they contain the information needed to perform the requested task.
In addition to the workup forms (WMDA F10 and F30 or equivalent), you may submit the DKMS form PARALLEL CT + WU REQUEST – ADDITIONAL FORM FOR CT SAMPLE.
WMDA Forms
DKMS Registry will confirm the receipt of the workup forms. Subsequently, a DKMS Workup Case Manager of the responsible DKMS donor center will get in touch with the requesting registry or transplant center.
Via Donor Navigator®
International registries and transplant centers that are registered users of DKMS Registry’s software Donor Navigator® can and are encouraged to request DKMS donors directly through Donor Navigator®. We recommend this option if no EMDIS connection with DKMS Registry is possible.
Donor Navigator® allows a quick online completion of workup forms. Existing data, such as the transplant center, contact information and patient as well as donor information, is automatically added into the forms.
If a user initiates a workup request in the software for a donor that has not yet completed a CT request, the user will be asked to choose between a standard WU request and a CT+WU request.
For a CT+WU request, the user must fill out additional fields in the online workup form, e.g., blood sample requirements and shipping address.
If you are interested in receiving further details about Donor Navigator®, please follow the link to our Donor Navigator® web application.

Via EMDIS
A workup request cannot be initiated via EMDIS. Workup requests must be submitted via email/fax or Donor Navigator®. WOR_REQ message via EMDIS are rejected.
The associated CT request does not have to be submitted via EMDIS. If you wish to send the CT request via EMDIS, the request must be clearly marked as a “parallel CT and workup” request in the remark field.
