  • Title: [Use of FMC macromolecular medium for determination of the erythrocyte ABO group using microtiter plates].
    Author: Mauri J, Ercilla MG, Gelabert A, Castillo R.
    Journal: Sangre (Barc); 1989 Aug; 34(4):306-9. PubMed ID: 2772785.
    Abstract:
    Several blood group determination techniques have been developed in recent years which provide easy handling, fine reproducibility and similar or even higher sensitivity than the procedures commonly employed, aimed to be used in the automation of blood bank work. A microtitration plate technique for ABO determination on red cells is presented in this report. A macromolecular medium, comprised of a mixture of the polymers Ficoll 400 and carboxymethyl cellulose (FMC) is used ad coadjuvant for the reaction. This medium increases by 15- the score units and by 4-fold (or more) the intensity of haemagglutination (titration) in typing the ABO antigenicity of red cell A, B, O and AB groups.
