jeloweryii got a reaction from Malcolm Needs in Eluate testing? Screens first or straight to a panel?
Interesting responses.... I've seen it done both ways as well. My reference lab experience has been to go directly to the panel while my hospital experience has been to perform the screens first.

jeloweryii reacted to David Saikin in KB stains... in-house or referral?
Whose stain are you running? I use Simmler and it always works fine. My staff is all generalists - maybe 1-2/month.

jeloweryii reacted to Teristella in KB stains... in-house or referral?
Ours are done for trauma patients only, so we do not perform fetal screens at all and they are not sent out. We do them in blood bank and get maybe 2 a year, max.
We had so much trouble with our CAP survey this year, once it was submitted we repeated it quite a few times trying to get a decent looking slide and just got nowhere. It's an incredibly frustrating test for us.

Agreed, but, where necessary, we will also perform testing by flow cytometry using FITC-labelled anti-D.

Labs in the UK don't use the rosette - we KB all samples where the cord blood is positive. We have national QA to ensure competency (multiple times a year). We are a medium sized maternity hospital and we do 3-4 a day
