A newly developed automatically readable solid‐phase antiglobulin test is described. The solid‐phase test in comparison with conventional antiglobulin techniques for screening and identification of red cell antibodies showed agreement in 2346 (98.7%) of samples tested. The increased sensitivity of the solid‐phase antiglobulin test is demonstrated by examination of serial twofold dilutions of antibodies.
