This is John Alfano reporting in.

I'm the Standardization Director/Supervisor for LabCorp's main Immunohematology facility in Burlington, NC. We perform primarily basically all the testing that a transfusion service does with the exception of any testing associated with transfusion. The Burlington location serves as the primary antibody identification site for the LabCorp system and consequently we perform roughly 40-50 IDs a day (which makes a workday very interesting).

This seems like a great website and I look forward to joining in the discussions.

Welcome John,

40-50 antibody workups per day? Wow! I thought we were busy doing 20-30. We would love to hear about any unusual antibody problems that you have had lately. There is a section in the forum for Immunohematology Reference Labs.

Do you refer your antibody workups to LabCorp? What does Labcorp do with this information?

Thanks, Teri

Welcome. I am sure you wil enjoy this site as much as we all do.

Cheers

Welcome, John.  Glad to have you joining us.

Welcome! It's a great site

50 antibody IDs a day sounds like great fun! If my wayward kids had stayed in North Carolina I'd move down and apply for a job. Welcome to the site.

That's because OCD is part of the blood banker's job description. 

Couldn't agree more John.

OCD makes for terriers - don't let tricky situations beat you. Keep gnawing at the bone till the marrow is revealed!
