ABO Grouping
ABO grouping is a test performed to determine an individual’s blood type. It is based on the premise that individuals have antigens on their red blood cells (RBCs) that correspond to the four main blood groups: A, B, O, and AB.
Storage Conditions Of Blood Products
In order to assure the viability of blood and blood products, the devices in which they are stored shall be closely monitored. The general devices include refrigerators, freezers and platelet incubators. The refrigerators are provided with a fan for circulating air and have a capacity and design to ensure that the proper temperature is maintained throughout the system. SHELF LIFE: The maximum allowable storage time for a blood component held under acceptable temperature and conditions […]
Reverse blood grouping / Serum Grouping
Reverse blood grouping is a procedure to confirm ABO blood group based on the presence or absence of anti-A and anti-B in serum using known A and B red cells. It is cross check for forward typing. Performing both forward and reverse grouping provides a check for accuracy. Because of the lack of synthesized immunoglobulins, anti-A and Anti-B in newborns and very young infants, this procedure is not performed on infants below 4 months of […]
Blood Group Test Procedure
There are four main blood groups (types of blood) – A, B, AB and O. Your blood group is determined by the genes you inherit from your parents. Each group can be either RhD positive or RhD negative, which means in total there are eight main blood groups. Also Known As: Blood Group, Rh Factor, ABO Grouping, Blood Typing, ABO Group Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets in a liquid […]

Minor Cross Match
In transfusion medicine, cross–matching or crossmatching (part of series of steps in blood compatibility tests) is testing before a blood transfusion to determine if the donor’s blood is compatible with the blood of an intended recipient. Why to Get Cross matching : Crossmatching is a test used to check for harmful interactions between your blood and specific donor blood or organs. It can help your doctor predict how your body will react to those donor materials. Cross matching plays important role to detect: Most […]

Cross Match
In transfusion medicine, cross–matching or crossmatching (part of series of steps in blood compatibility tests) is testing before a blood transfusion to determine if the donor’s blood is compatible with the blood of an intended recipient. Purpose of cross-matching (Indication): The primary purpose of the crossmatch is to prevent a transfusion reaction. Crossmatch is done before the major surgery. Crossmatch is also done before operation where there is usually no need for blood, e.g. hysterectomy, and cholecystectomy. packed RBCs transfusion: Anemia […]
