BLOOD GROUPING TEST, RHESUS anti D (Lorne)
Definition
Reagents containing immunoglobulines used in the blood rhesus typing. The immunoglobulins capable of binding to specific antigenic determinants and intended to be used in testing a clinical specimen for Rh(D) red blood cell antigens from the rhesus system, using an agglutination method (clumping).
Used together with the anti-A, anti-B, anti-AB and Rhesus negative blood grouping reagents.
Specifications
Components
- Murine monoclonal antibodies
- Suspension in macromolecular synthetic medium
Technical specifications
- Colorless, limpid reagent
- IgM monoclonal antibody; clone RUM-1
Packaging & Labelling
10 ml dropper bottle, intended for about 150 - 200 tests
Instructions for use
Follow the instructions in the leaflet.
Agglutination is slower to get than with other serum-tests (2 minutes).
The use of serum-test composed of IgM allows working without rhesuscope at room temperature.
Storage
- Keep refrigerated between 2 and 8ºC
- Do not freeze
- Shelf life: 30 months
- Not to be used beyond expiry date
- Close the bottle tightly after each use to prevent bacterial contaminations (causing the deterioration of the serum-test). In case of doubt concerning the serum-test validity, perform a check on a known blood, fresh or kept in good conditions (2 - 8ºC).
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.
