Abstract: | The 15-channel Technicon blood typing machine is shown to be equally useful for patient and donor blood typing. It provides increased accuracy as well as increased speed and economy. Test capabilities are broadened by permitting additional simultaneous determinations such as the automated reagin test for syphilis or tests for additional erythrocyte antigens. Automated antibody screening, performed on the blood typing machine in conjunction with patient typing, was found to be of limited use because it failed to detect as much as 60 per cent of some clinically significant antibodies. |
