A

80%

31
Q

A disadvantage for both gel and soild phase technology is:

A

21

35
Q

CPDA-1 additives give blood a shelf life of how many days?

A

P

37
Q

How many genes encode for the following Rh antigens: DCEce?

A

Q

Why would IgG be preferred over AHG in an antibody screen?

A

Interference from non-red cell stimulated cold antibodies in patient sera is reduced because the attachment of complement is not detected.
