Forward/direct typing
Specimen: RBCs (Ag)
Reagents:
= Anti-A (blue: trypan blue)
= Anti-B (yellow: acroflavin dye)
= Anti-AB (colorless)
Checks for the reaction of anti-A and anti-B
Detects weak subgroup of A and B because it has higher titer of anti-A & anti-B
Reverse/indirect typing
Specimen: Serum (Ab) = 3-6 months (development)
Reagents:
= A1 cells
= B cells
Major Advantage: Standardization
Medium: Dextran-acrylamide gel
0 = Unagglutinated Cells ---(media)---> Bottom of the μtube (microtube)
1+ = Agglutinated cells ---(media)---> May concentrate at the bottom of μtube
2+ = Agglutinated cells ---(media)---> Throughout the length of the μtube
3+ = Agglutinated cells ---(media)---> Concentrate near the top of the μtube
4+ = Agglutinated cells ---(media)---> Top of the media
Mixed-field:
= Agglutinated cells ---(media)---> Top
= Unagglutinated cells ---(media)---> Bottom
0 = No agglutination/hemolysis
W+ = Tiny agglutinates, turbid BG
1+ = Small agglutinates, turbid BG (25% agglutination)
2+ = Medium agglutinates, clear BG (50% agglutination)
3+ = Large agglutinate, clear BG (75% agglutination)

Title: Immunohematology-Blood-Banking Reviewer
Description: This contains a brief summary of topics discussed under Immunohematology & Blood Banking such as the different blood groups, blood donation, blood transfusion and the laboratory methods performed in the laboratory. The content of this reviewer is from the book of Denise Harmening titled Modern Blood Banking and Transfusion Practices. This reviewer can be used by students taking up medical technology, medicine and other related courses.
