What kind of result can you expect from a 3-5% solution in the prozone?
False positive, cell suspension too light
What kind of result can you expect from a 3-5% solution in the postzone?
False negative, cell suspension too heavy
What is the difference between the monospecific method vs the polyspecific AHG method?
Monospecific contains antibodies specific to either C3d or IgG, polyspecific contains antibodies that react with both.
