    Mention of specific products or equipment in this AABB publication does not represent an endorsement of such products by the AABB, nor does it necessarily indicate a preference for those products over similar competitive products.

    Efforts are made to have publications of the AABB consistent in regard to acceptable practices. However, they may not be. As new developments in the field of relationship testing occur, changes may be recommended to the AABB Standards for Blood Banks and Transfusion Services. However, It is impossible to revise each publication when such a change is adopted. Thus, it is essential that the most recent edition of the Standards be consulted as a reference in regard to current acceptable practices.

    Hi @Pamo,

    There are a few options.

    • If you subscribe to a proficiency testing program, you can often save what they send you.  WARNING - do not use these samples until after you have received the results if you are a CLIA lab.
    • You can spike your training samples with commercial antisera.  These don't always react as expected / hoped for.
    • In my opinion, the best option is to save a recent prior patient sample that is no longer needed or expired.
    • Commercial samples are also available, such as this from Hemo bioscience.
