Terry Butler Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Is anyone running the assay for Rh and Kell typings on the Tango and what are you using for QC material? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbostock Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yes. We use the BiotestCell 3 screening cells. We do the QC every morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Underwood Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yes, we run Rh+K typings on the TANGO. We have a monthly standing order for 2 boxes of Biotestcell 3 which we spin down and take off the supernate from the cells. We run them as needed on the C rack and have them set up with the other controls as AGID1, AGID2 and AGID3. The only thing you need to do is adjust the settings of the K typing on the controls as that changes from month to month. tbostock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie Underwood Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 We run Rh+K typings on sickle cell patients and those patients we ID an Rh or K antibody will receive a full Rh+K antigen typing on the TANGO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Butler Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 We are also using the Rh+Kell assay to type donor units. We hope to be able to find R1R1 and R2R2 units for our patients with antibodies rather than relying on our blood supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwajiha Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 We run Rh + K on our donors using Tango ( before using Optimo now replaced by Tango infinity). The commercial QC set by BioRad is run every day at the start of the day and it covers ABO blood grouping as well as Rh + K. CHECK WITH YOUR SUPPLIER.

drwajiha Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Biotest cell 3 are antibody screening cells . if you are using them as QC cells because you know their antigram is appreciated but still if you are conscious about maintaining your QC lab journal archive in Tango it is better to use the reagent specified for this purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Infinity ? is it stable and running or has it still some issues ? The first machine we got was a desaster, having issues every week-.

Belial Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 we had already an Optimo which had often issues. then we got an Infinity for testings. there were more down time than up time. the bio-rad service was unable to fix it. so finally they took the instrument out of the lab.
