The detection of irregular antibody is a critical issue in the management of red blood cell transfusion according to the Type & Screen (T&S) practice. In order to implement the T&S procedure at our blood bank, we compared three different automated analyzers based on column agglutination technique (CAT) or solid phase red cell adherence assay (SPACA) methods.
