The manual capillary tube technique, in a series of 114 Mood samples collected into CPD, demonstrated Bg a on the red blood cells of 93 per cent of the HLA‐B7 donors, and Bg b on the red blood cells of 80 per cent of the HLA‐B17 donors. These results compare favorably with reported autoanalyzer studies. Successful results require normal red blood cell‐plasma ratios in the samples and avoidance of heparin for collection.
