FAISAL ALMUTAIRI
SAMPLE RECEIVING:
• Plain tube (red cap): SERUM for cross matching
and ICT, Reverse ABO
• EDTA tube ( lavender tube ): whole
blood for ABO, cross matching, DCT
There’s also a third kind of antigen called the Rh factor. You either have this antigen (meaning
your blood type is “Rh+” or “positive”), or you don’t (meaning your blood type is “Rh-” or
“negative”). So, from the four blood groups, there are eight blood types:
• A positive or A negative
• B positive or B negative
• AB positive or AB negative
• O positive or O negative
Principle :
The ORTHO BioVue system column agglutination technology standardizes blood typing
and compatibility testing in a 6-microcolumn cassette preloaded with diluent and/or reagent
and glass beads. Test red cells, with or without serum, are placed in the chamber above the

are used.
• Patient serum added to the known cells.
• Used as confirmatory for the forward method.
• Add segment to labeled test tube A cell tube and B cell tube

• When result negative add coombs control cells (CCC) and Centrifugation 30 sec
• After add (CCC) result should be positive
• If result negative repeat test
This test detects immunoglobulin and/or complement bound to red blood cells surface
antigens in vivo.. Immunoglobulin and complement are involved in the immune system. This test
is used to evaluate for antibody-induced hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells)
You may need this test if you have:
Procedure of DCT .
• cells Wash three times
• Make cell suspension 3-5 %
• In test tube add one drops from suspension and two drops bovine albumin
• Centrifugation 30 sec
• Read result .when result negative ? keep tube at room temperature for 10 minute
• Centrifugation 30 sec
• When result negative add coombs control cells (CCC) and Centrifugation 30 sec
• After add (CCC) result should be positive
Procedure of ICT .
• Label 3 tubes as cell 1, cell 2 and cell 3.
• In the tube labeled as cell 1, take 2 drops of serum. And 1 drops of cell 1
• In the tube labeled as cell 2, take 2 drops of serum. And 1 drops of cell 2
• In the tube labeled as cell 3, take 2 drops of serum. And 1 drops of cell 3
• Add 2 drops of bovine albumin to each tube.
• Incubate all the tubes at 37°C for 45 – 60 min
• Wash the cells 3 times with normal saline
• Add 2 drops of Anti Human Globulin to each tube
• Centrifugation 30 sec
• When result negative add coombs control cells (CCC) and Centrifugation 30 sec
• After add (CCC) result should be positive
The major cross match involves testing the patient’s serum with donor cells to determine
whether the patient has an antibody which may cause a hemolytic transfusion reaction or
decreased cell survival of donor cells. This is the most important cross-match.
The minor cross match involves testing the patients cells with donor plasma to determine
Plasma compatibility
Plasma contains anti-A and anti-B antibodies depending upon the blood group. Our body also
has antibodies to A and/or B antigens according to our blood group. Patients should only receive
plasma that does not contain an antibody which could attack the antigens present on their own
red cells.
Group A recipients have A antigen on their red cells, so they can’t receive group O or group B
plasma as the anti-A will attack their red cells. Group B recipients have B antigen on their red
cells, so they can’t receive group O or group A plasma as the anti-B will attack their red cells.
Group AB recipients can only receive group AB plasma. Group O recipients do not have either A
or B antigen, so can safely receive plasma of any blood group type.
6. antibody identification
principle:
Patient serum/plasma is tested against an Identification panel of reagent red cells that are
fully antigrammed for the antigens of the major and minor B.G systems using the same technique
with which Ab detected in screening or cross matching (for eluate from DCT positive cells
additive techniques are held). The positive and negative reactions should be compared with the
panel profile in conjunction with the screening results. Determining the specificity of an
unexpected alloantibody is important in pre-transfusion and prenatal testing. If the antibody
specificity is known, it is possible to test donor blood for the absence of the corresponding
antigen. Antibodies should also be identified in donor blood so that this blood is not transfused to
antigen-positive recipients.
PROCEDURE
The patient's sample should first be tested with Screening Cells I and II. If one or both of these
show agglutination, proceed with the antibody identification.
1. Select a cell panel and the corresponding antigen matrix. Be sure the lot number on the cell
panel matches the lot number on the antigen matrix.
2. Fill in all known patient information on the cell panel worksheet.
3. Number as many tubes as there are cells in the panel. Include the patient's initials on each
tube.
4. Using a controlled drop dispo pipette held at a consistent angle, add 2 drops of patient
Autocontrol.

INTERPRETATION
Confirmation:
Q: how to confirm such a situation?
Sample antibody ID problems
1-A 27-year-old female comes in for a tonsillectomy. She’s never been transfused or pregnant.
The above panel is performed. What is the antibody and what should you do?
2. Anti-D
Note that this is likely a gel or solid-phase panel (though it could be a liquid panel only recording
the IAT reactions). Single warm-reacting antibody. Fairly straight-forward identification. Check
the clinical situation (and don’t forget to ask about recent RhIG injection or infusion!).

➢ SAGM
SAGM is a combination of constituents as additive solution to give the red cell optimum
viability. It actually stands for
- Sodium Chloride: provides isotonicity
- Adenine: maintains ATP for red cell viability
- Glucose: supports red cell metabolism
- Mannitol: helps reduce red cell lysis
Preservation of red cells in SAGM solution can keep the life of red cells to up to 42 days, longer
than using CPD Solution and CPDA solution alone.
