Q

What BB tests are performed for this request:

- antibody identification

A
  • Panel or 3 positive and 3 negative cells to prove the antibody
  • All common alloantibodies must be excluded

Q

What is the use of a Computer Crossmatch? Limitations?

A

compares recent ABO serologic results and interpretation on file for both donor and recipient. Current Ab screen must be negative/ no history of Ab/ 2 Rh types must be on file

Q

Solid Phase:

- test menu

A

ABO/Rh; indirect/direct; XM; ABID

19
Q

Solid Phase:

- interpretation of results

A

Pos: agglutination is seen as monolayer or RBCs
Neg: no agglutination - forms button at bottom of well

25
Q

Gel Methodologies:

- interpretation of results

A

Pos: aggltinated RBCs remain at top or suspended in gel
Neg: unagglutinated RBCs form a pellet at bottom of gel - no cross linking
