We have always use paralell testing to compare the results from one kit to the other. Recently, we started to also use the corQC serum when the kit was received and then when we needed to check the reactivity of the expired selective cells before using them. The package insert on the corQC does not mention what antibodies are in the contol. Today one of my cells from the new kit was negative with corQc serum. I am thinking maybe the CorQc dose not have an antibody to match any of the antigens in that cell. The paralell testing worked with that cell and it happened to be positive. Immucor has not returned my call. So , what do you think?

Hello, This is our first post and we would like to say hello. Angel Med is not just one person but several of us who have been viewing the forums for a few months now. We have found it very helpful and would like to thank you all for allowing us to quietly view. A little about us. We are a small hospital in North Carolina approximately 55 beds with a small blood bank. Now we have a question for you guys in the know. The AABB standards state that a weak D is unnecessary when testing the patient. It also states that a weak D is not necessary when retyping the units. My question is: When crossmatching blood for an Rh negative patient, should the weak D be included on the units before transfusion?
