gel card quality control


DEDE

Recommended Posts

I am trying to find out what everyone uses for their QC on the Gel Card antibody screens. We do not use a kit.  In the past we used dilute Anti-D and Dilute Anti-c.  I have taken over the manager position and was reviewing the procedures and noticed a notation in the QC procedure stating to never use Rh anti-sera for control purposes for Gel cards.  They switched to Jka and Jkb which can be a little wonky at times and also expensive. I can't find anything anywhere that mentions not using the RH sera.  I may have missed something in my absence but would like to switch back until we get our automation in place.

 

Thanks in advance for your responses

Good point about some antigen typing antisera not appropriate for gel QC.  

For our QC, we do indeed use a kit that is appropriate for gel.  We dilute down the anti-sera from the Ortho Confidence QC system (same one that we use for ABO reagent QC), which has anti-D and anti-c IgG.
