Blood Grouping (ABO and Rh (D))
Blood Grouping (ABO and Rh (D)) determines blood group and Rh type, which is crucial for organ transplants, blood transfusions, and pregnancy compatibility checks. Knowing the blood type and Rh (D) ensures safe blood donations and aids in diagnosing certain diseases in newborns. Compatibility between blood types enables effective blood exchange when needed.
Prewarm Antibody Screen
The Prewarm Antibody Screen test is performed at 37°C in contrast to the standard antibody screen, performed at room temperature (approximately 22°C). This test detects antibodies reacting with red blood cells at temperatures closer to body temperature. This test helps to diagnose autoimmune hemolytic anemia, transfusion compatibility reactions, and differentiated antibodies involved in cold agglutinin […]
Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) Poly
The direct antiglobulin test (DAT), or Coombs test, looks for immunoglobulin and/or complement on the surface of red blood cells. The potential diagnosis of the Coombs test comprises pre-transfusion testing, hemolytic transfusion reactions, and autoimmune or drug-induced hemolytic anaemias. DAT Polyassays aid healthcare providers in diagnosing drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia (DIHA). and consequently, in the […]
Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) Monospecific (IgG, IgA, IgM, C3d, C3C)
The direct antiglobulin test (DAT) or Coombs test checks for immunoglobulin and/or complement on the surface of red blood cells. DAT Monospecific (IgG, IgA, IgM, C3d, and C3C) assays aid healthcare providers in diagnosing autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) along with selecting therapeutic modalities.
Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) IgG1/IgG3
The direct antiglobulin test (DAT) is performed to detect antibodies, specifically IgG1 or IgG3 immunoglobulin subgroup antibodies or complement proteins, that are attached to the patient’s red blood cell. This test helps to diagnose and manage immune-mediated destruction of erythrocytes in conditions such as auto-immune hemolytic anemia and drug-induced hemolytic anemias.
Cross-match
Cross-matching is an important pre-transfusion blood test that establishes the immune compatibility of the donor’s blood component with the recipient’s blood, ensuring a safe transfusion. This test is performed as a major cross-matching test of donors red blood cell (RBC) antigens against the recipient’s serum or as a minor cross-matching test of the donor’s serum […]
Blood Type and Cross-match
Blood typing establishes Red Blood Cell (RBC) membrane antigens as A/B/AB/O and RH positive/negative types or into minor antigen groups. Blood cross-matching is a mandatory pre-transfusion immunohematological test to ensure compatibility of the donor’s blood component with the recipient’s blood. This test detects a possible antigen-antibody reaction between blood cell antigen and serum antibody in […]
Blood Type and Antibody Screen
Blood types are classified based on red blood cell (RBC) membrane antigens. ABO and Rh typing systems categorize blood into A/B/AB/O and RH positive/negative types. Blood typing and screening for unrecognized antibodies in recipient serum is a critical test for establishing the matching of blood components for safe and successful blood component transfusion and organ […]
Antibody Titre Test
The antibody titre test quantifies specific antibodies in the blood, gauging the immune system’s response to pathogens. It reveals vaccination history, past exposure, and immune function and is mainly useful for those who have records of medical history. Healthcare workers undergo such testing to ensure their protection when exposed to infectious agents.
Antibody Identification Test
The antibody identification test is employed to recognize particular alloantibodies, which may originate from administered immunoglobulin (Ig), donor plasma, lymphocytes accompanying transplanted organs, or hematopoietic progenitor cells. Healthcare professionals utilize this test to pinpoint the presence or absence of specific alloantibodies, ensuring the safety of blood transfusions. Apart from that, detecting potential transfusion reactions or […]
