Can prewarm technique be done on gel cars for discrepant blood groups?

    It can, but it is exceptionally difficult to get the air in the reaction well up to a strict 37oC, and "cold antibodies" sensitise red cells VERY quickly.

  • We did it easily by putting the gel card centrifuge in a 37C dry air incubator along with all the consumables. We waited 30 minutes to get all up to temp then did the testing. Worked great.  

  • I tried it several times when we were still gel users, but never successfully.
