A semiautomated method for erythrocyte antigen typing on microtitration plates.

Abstract excerpt

We describe a method for erythrocyte antigen typing on U-bottom microtitration plates. This method permitted phenotyping of erythrocytes by an enzyme-enhanced hemagglutination assay simultaneously with an indirect antihuman globulin assay within the same microtitration plate. A robotic sample processor identified the samples, prepared the red cell suspensions and distributed the suspension along with the diluted...
