Abstract:
The ID-Sampler II, an automated liquid handling system, is designed specifically for use with current gel technology. It was found to be reliable, easy to use and fully alarmed, making it a 'walk-away' instrument. Over a three-month period samples for ABO/Rh(D) grouping, antibody screening and compatibility testing were tested in parallel with our routine microtitre plate and gel techniques. No ABO/Rh(D) errors occurred on the automated system and antibody screening results were comparable to our routine methods.
