ABO Blood Grouping & Typing Rapid Tests

The ABO Blood Grouping Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood) is a solid-phase method test cassette for the regular ABO blood group detection. The test is intended for professional use to help diagnose the blood type.

【SUMMARY】
Human blood has a variety of blood types, and the most common blood type system is ABO (blood types are divided into A, B, AB and O types according to the presence or absence of A and B antigens in red blood cells).When the corresponding antigens and antibodies of ABO blood group meet, red blood cells will have agglutination reaction, resulting in red blood cell hemolysis, which is life-threatening. Therefore, ABO blood group identification, or ABO blood group antigen test, is an important prerequisite for ensuring safe blood transfusion and avoiding related diseases.
The ABO Blood Grouping Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood) is a solid-phase method test cassette for the regular ABO blood group detection.
【DIRECTIONS FOR USE】
Allow the test, specimen, buffer and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing
1. Remove the test cassette from the sealed foil pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed within one hour.
2. Place the cassette on a clean and level surface.
3. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 1 drop of whole blood (approximately 10 mL) to each “S” well of test cassette. See illustration below.
4. Add 6 drops (approximately 240mL) of dilution Buffer to “Buffer” well in 1 minute after the specimen is added.
5. Interpret test results in 1 minute on “S” well. Do not interpret the result after 30 minutes.
Note: If small amount of red blood cells remain in the “S” well was observed at reading time, please add 2-3 drops of Dilution buffer to the “Buffer” well and read the results immediately.
Note: It is suggested not to use the buffer, beyond 6 months after opening the vial.
