Navigating the Complexities of Antibody Identification
Tuesday March 18 | 8:00 AM PDT/4:00PM CET

Serologic investigations that result in definable antibody specificities can be fun and rewarding. However, when these conclusions are uncertain, the fun can turn to frustration.
Are there testing techniques and investigative protocols that can increase the chances of resolving these antibody problems?
In this webinar, Janis R. Hamilton, MS, MLS(ASCP)SBB uses case studies to demonstrate a systematic approach to complex antibody problems.
Multiple tools are critical to antibody resolution, including careful analysis of initial test results, the appropriate use of red cell chemical and enzyme treatments, neutralization, adsorption, titration, and incorporation of red cell phenotype and genotype information. Master these tools and watch your antibody identification effectiveness increase.
