    A new solid-phase adherence method (SPAM) accurately groups blood types (ABO) and Rh factors. This sensitive technique improves detection of weak blood subgroups and Du-positive red blood cells.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical immunology
    • Transfusion medicine
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Accurate ABO grouping and Rh typing of red blood cells (RBCs) are critical for safe blood transfusions.
    • Conventional methods like microplate agglutination have limitations in detecting weak subgroups or variants.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel solid-phase adherence method (SPAM) for RBC typing.
    • To assess the sensitivity and correlation of SPAM compared to existing methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a solid-phase adherence method (SPAM) for blood grouping.
    • Spectrophotometric reading of adherence reactions.
    • Computerized interpretation of results.
    • Comparison with conventional microplate agglutination techniques.

    Main Results:

    • The SPAM demonstrated 99.6% correlation with conventional microplate agglutination methods.
    • SPAM exhibited increased sensitivity, directly detecting Du-positive RBCs.
    • Weak subgroups of A and B were effectively identified using SPAM.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed solid-phase adherence method (SPAM) is a reliable and highly sensitive technique for ABO grouping and Rh typing.
    • SPAM offers improved detection capabilities for challenging red blood cell variants.
    • This method has the potential to enhance transfusion safety and diagnostic accuracy.
