A solid‐phase antiglobulin test was developed as an alternative to hemagglutination for compatibility testing. The solid‐phase endpoint of red cell adherence allowed results to be read visually or spectrophotometrically. This method was easier to perform than a hemagglutination antiglobulin test and had increased sensitivity without loss of specificity.
