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.

I am doing a bit of research on KB stains and I was wondering what is the current practice. In the past I've worked at facilities where they were performed in-house (by BB or another department) and also where they were sent out. What are most hospital labs doing currently? Primary benefit of referral seem to be that you do not have to maintain competency, which can be difficult when the test is performed infrequently. I see TAT as the main drawback of referral, considering the recommendation to administer RhIg within 72 hours of delivery. Any other thoughts on referral vs. in-house testing? Anyone using KB as first test for routine FMH, i.e. not performing a "rosette" test fetal screen?

Please stop by the booth while you are there. It would be great to meet all of you. Also, while you are there, ask about our new FREE mobile app for blood banking. Safe travels, Jimmy Lowery Operations Manager Hemo bioscience 2011 AABB CTTXPO Booth #1701

Hi Mabel, As I understand it, the 4 drop method is required when normal ionic strength PEG solutions (i.e. 20% PEG in PBS) are used. Since the Hemo bioscience PEG reagent is Low Ionic Strength, only two drops are required for antibody screen/identification testing procedures. Do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or require further information. Thanks, Jimmy Lowery, MT(ASCP) Operations Manager Hemo bioscience j.lowery@hemobioscience.com 1-866-332-2835
