Serofuge or Immunofuge special centrifuges used predominantly in blood banking.

They are of a fixed speed and utilize an angle-head carrier for the tubes. The force exerted on the cells in the serofuge is not so great that excessive manipulation is necessary to resuspend the cell button. The angle head permits the cells to stream towards the bottom of the tube at an angle along the side of the tube, permitting easy resuspension of the cells.

The Rh slide reaches temperatures of 37 to 39C in two minutes, eliminating wasted heat-up time. The view box can be gently rocked using the large knob on the support cradle. The aluminum case is sturdy and easyto-clean, and the unit includes a three-wire cord and plug. will hasten the agglutination reaction.

Serological albumin - enhance the sensitivity of the indirect antiglobulin test for some antibody specificities. Anti-N (lectin) reagent is used to determine the presence of the N antigen on human red cells

37oC Heat Block or Waterbath used to provide a constant temperature when testing for warm-reacting antibodies. The temperature must be checked each time tubes are set into them to incubate. A tube placed in a waterbath will reach 37oC faster than one placed in a dry heat block; therefore incubation times are generally 5-10 minutes longer when using dry heat blocks. Waterbaths tend to produce more even heat distribution than dry heat blocks.

Anti- B This reagent is a monoclonal antibody solution intended for determination of red blood cells having B antigen on the surface, who are categorized as B group individual

Anti-human globulin (AHG) is antisera that contains antibodies directed against human globulins (antibodies and complement) such as IgG and/or C3. Although many types exist, there are two basic categories: polyspecific and monospecific. Polyspecific this antisera is used in direct antiglobulin testing (DAT) to test the in vivo attachment of IgG or complement on the surface of the red cell. It contains both anti-IgG and anti-C3 antibodies. - Monospecific this antisera is used to differentiate between IgG coated and complement coated red cells when the DAT is positive (from above). Anti-IgG AHG can be polyclonal (may not be specific for heavy chains) or monoclonal (from a single source). Anti-M is a fairly common naturally occurring antibody with rarely causing hemolytic transfusion reactions or hemolytic disease of the newborn.

Magnifying lenses are used to magnify or make the object viewed appear bigger to observe it more clearly.

Microscope slides are important tools for examining specimens under a microscope. used to prepare and hold a specimen for examination under a microscope. Flat slides are used most of the time. Concave slides are used for larger specimens and when examining pond water.

Microscope a microscope is used in a laboratory to determine the amount or number of analytes (measured substances) present in a specimen, such as blood, urine, or stool. A microscope is an optical instrument consisting of a lens or combination of lenses for enlarging images of objects. It is typically used in a laboratory to view objects that are not visible to the naked eye.

Anti A Anti-A reagent for the detection of the relevant antigen in human red cells and saliva has been developed.

Rh typing box This compact, economical slide warmer is used for blood typing, Rh determinations, warming slides for gram stain, tissue typing and reading enzyme antibody screens in microplate. It has a soft fluorescent, glarefree light and a built-in temperature indicator for easy, accurate monitoring of the viewing area that adjusts easily to compensate for ambient temperature changes.

Anti-D tested against red blood cells that have the D antigen, producing strong agglutination
