NEG CONTROL is used for blood grouping and Rhesus-Kell phenotyping. It is devoid of antibody activity. Tested under the same conditions as the reagent used, the control enables interpretation of the result obtained. The negative control produced by DIAGAST is devoid of antibodies.Quantity: 5 x 10 mlClones
Blood grouping is the determination of the presence or absence of ABO and RH1 (D) antigens.
Blood group determination is performed in 2 steps:
Forward typing, where the presence of antigens on the surface of Red Blood Cells (RBC) is investigated with known antisera (
Reverse typing, where the presence of anti-ABO antibodies in the plasma is investigated with known antigens (commercial RBC)
The agreement between forward and reverse typing is a sine qua non condition for the determination of a blood group.
DIAGAST produces monoclonal antibodies and RBC for the forward and reverse typing, respectively.
