Summary A freeze‐dried, working calibration preparation (84/628) has been assayed against the International Incomplete anti‐c Reference Serum (67/160) in a multi‐centre study. The use of 84/628 will avoid the between‐laboratory variation, inherent in the use of local preparations, in the reporting of assays of anti‐c using the AutoAnalyzer. A value of 13 IU/ampoule has been assigned to the anti‐c content of preparation 84/628 which is available from the Blood Group Reference Laboratory, Oxford.
