Fortress DAT Screen (Blood Grouping Gel Cards)

Fortress DAT Screen (Blood Grouping Gel Cards)

This test distinguishes red blood cells sensitized in-vivo by IgG type immunoglobulins or the complement C3d in gel technique.

Antibody screening is the most reliable and sensitive method of detecting a clinically significant antibody. This test contains antibodies to human IgG and a murine monoclonal antibody to C3 (class IgG). The antihuman globulin test is used in numerous ways in pretransfusion and compatibility testing.
The Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) is used to detect in-vivo sensitization and detects antibodies on a patient's red cells.
Red cell alloantibodies bring about red cell destruction by activating complement, leading to lysis.
