Automated blood grouping by gel technology. 1995

Haematology Department, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, England, UK.

The ID-Sampler II, an automated liquid handling system, is designed specifically for use with current gel technology. It was found to be reliable, easy to use and fully alarmed, making it a 'walk-away' instrument. Over a three-month period samples for ABO/Rh(D) grouping, antibody screening and compatibility testing were tested in parallel with our routine microtitre plate and gel techniques. No ABO/Rh(D) errors occurred on the automated system and antibody screening results were comparable to our routine methods.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D001788 Blood Grouping and Crossmatching Testing erythrocytes to determine presence or absence of blood-group antigens, testing of serum to determine the presence or absence of antibodies to these antigens, and selecting biocompatible blood by crossmatching samples from the donor against samples from the recipient. Crossmatching is performed prior to transfusion. Blood Typing,Crossmatching, Blood,Blood Grouping,Blood Crossmatching,Grouping, Blood,Typing, Blood
D005782 Gels Colloids with a solid continuous phase and liquid as the dispersed phase; gels may be unstable when, due to temperature or other cause, the solid phase liquefies; the resulting colloid is called a sol.
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000017 ABO Blood-Group System The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.

D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
D012204 Rh-Hr Blood-Group System Erythrocyte isoantigens of the Rh (Rhesus) blood group system, the most complex of all human blood groups. The major antigen Rh or D is the most common cause of erythroblastosis fetalis.
