    Area of Science:

    • Transfusion Medicine
    • Immunology
    • Biotechnology

    Background:

    • Accurate blood phenotyping is crucial for transfusion safety.
    • Traditional methods can be time-consuming and reagent-intensive.
    • Adapting existing techniques to microplate technology can improve efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To adapt the hexadimethrine bromide (Polybrene) technique for microplate-based blood phenotyping.
    • To evaluate the accuracy, speed, and cost-effectiveness of the Polybrene-microplate (P-MP) technique.
    • To assess the P-MP technique's performance across various blood group antigen systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Phenotyping of 282 donor blood samples using standard tube testing and the P-MP technique.
    • Utilizing diluted antisera and a 1% red cell suspension in the P-MP method.
    • Assessing reaction interpretability, turnaround time, and false-positive/negative rates.

    Main Results:

    • The P-MP technique provided accurate and easily interpretable results for Rh, Kidd, Kell, Duffy, and Ss antigens.
    • Microplate preparation and reading were completed within 15-19 minutes.
    • No false-positive results were observed; false-negative rates were <0.015% for Jkb and Duffy antigens.
    • Significant reagent savings were achieved through miniaturization and enhanced antibody avidity.

    Conclusions:

    • The P-MP technique is a rapid, accurate, simple, and cost-effective method for phenotyping numerous donor blood units.
    • This microplate adaptation of the Polybrene technique enhances efficiency in blood banking.
    • The P-MP method holds promise for improving the speed and economics of blood donor unit phenotyping.
