Fortress Comp Test (Blood Grouping Gel Cards)

This test allows the detection of ABO, Rh incompatibility and unexpected blood group antibodies in patient’s serum against antigens on donor cells or in donor's serum against antigens on patient’s cells in gel technique.

The compatibility test includes an ABO and Rh grouping performed on the donor and recipient samples, screening of the donor’s and patient’s sera for unexpected antibodies. The cross-match became part of a series of pre-transfusion test known as compatibility testing. The crossmatch procedure determines whether donor blood is compatible (or incompatible) with recipient blood.
The major cross-match is used to detect unexpected blood group antibodies in patient's serum against antigens on donor cells. The minor cross-match is used to detect unexpected blood group antibodies in donor's serum against antigens on patient’s cells.
