The gel centrifugation test (ID Microtyping System)--a new method for antibody screening--was compared with solid phase systems (Solidscreen, Capture R, Ready ID) and the conventional tube test. 141 different antibodies were tested and the results were compared. The ID Microtyping System identified 138 (98%) of all antibodies, the tube test 110 (78%), Capture R 86 (61%), Ready ID 79 (56%) and Solidscreen 75 (53%). The results in identification of all antibodies except cold agglutinins (n = 107) were: in the ID Microtyping System 98% (105), tube test 76% (82), Capture R 70% (75), Ready ID 68% (73) and Solidscreen 61% (65).

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
