Blood Typing
Blood typing (also known as blood grouping) is a process of classifying blood based on the detection of antigens present on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). The correct determination of the blood type of donors and patients is critical for the safe transfusion or transplantation of life-saving blood, blood components, or transplanted organs and tissues. Blood typing consists of using highly regulated, standardized, type-specific reagents or devices in tests with blood samples.
The International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) recognizes thirty-nine major human blood typing systems for the detection of common and rare blood group variants, but the most common are ABO and Rh blood grouping systems. The basic principle of blood typing involves observation of a simple antigen-antibody reaction leading to hemagglutination or clumping of RBCs.
