Malcolm Needs ☆ Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Is there any reason a rbc crossmatch would be incompatible on manual gel but compatible on provue?VHBy Provue, do I take it that this is by automation (sorry, there is an old saying that the English language is coomon to the UK and the USA, but the Atlantic makes it a foreign language to each - or words to that effect)?If so, I would think that the automation warms the reactants prior to mxing, whereas the manual gel is not pre-warmed, and what you are detecting by manual gel is a "cold-reacting" antibody.Just a thought.:confused::confused::confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I think you are right Malcolm as always....ProVue is automation for Gel. We have seen this with cold antibody because in ProVue cards get warmed before pipetting reagent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Needs ☆ Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I think that the phrase I was desperately trying to think of (and failing miserably) was "Two peoples divided by a common language".:o:o:o:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
