k1065 got a reaction from Malcolm Needs in Use of negative (diluent) control in blood groupingThank you all for your comments.
To be clear, I do not advocate the removal of the control from the blood grouping test; automated or manual.
My interest was sparked following a group conversation on this topic where I was surpried to find that some folk would be comfortable to omit the control, and rely solely on forward vs reverse typing as a check. They were less certain when I challenged them with the scenario of a discrepant blood group!
