BLOOD GROUPING TEST, anti A (BIOSCOT)
Definition
ABO reagents contain immunoglobulins used for the blood group typing by determining the presence or absence of A and/or B antigens on the red cells.
The anti-A immunoglobulins are capable of binding to specific antigenes. This reagent is intended to be used in testing a clinical specimen for group A red blood cell antigens, using an agglutination method (clumping).
Used together with the anti-B, anti-AB, anti Rh D and Rhesus negative blood grouping reagents.

MSF requirements
The 5 reagents for blood grouping (anti-AB, anti-A, anti-B, anti Rh D, Rhesus negative control) must all come from the same manufacturer. This is the reason why we close the article to 1 manufacturer.
