[Use of FMC macromolecular medium for determination of the erythrocyte ABO group using microtiter plates].

Several blood group determination techniques have been developed in recent years which provide easy handling, fine reproducibility and similar or even higher sensitivity than the procedures commonly employed, aimed to be used in the automation of blood bank work. A microtitration plate technique for ABO determination on red cells is presented in this report. A macromolecular medium, comprised of a mixture of the polymers Ficoll 400 and carboxymethyl cellulose (FMC) is used ad coadjuvant for the reaction. This medium increases by 15- the score units and by 4-fold (or more) the intensity of haemagglutination (titration) in typing the ABO antigenicity of red cell A, B, O and AB groups.

Plateletpheresis: a comparative study of six different protocols.

Six different protocols were employed in 710 plateletpheresis employing Haemonetics 30, Fenwal CS-3000, IBM 2997 dual stage channel, IBM 2997 single-stage channel, and Haemonetics V-50 "surge pump" method. When Haemonetics 30 and IBM 2997 single-stage channel procedures were used, 5.4 to 5.9 X 10(11) platelets were collected with significant leukocyte contamination (10.8 to 11.6 X 10(9)). With Fenwal CS-3000, dual-stage channel of IBM 2997 and Haemonetics V-50 "surge pump" there was less leukocyte contamination in concentrates (0.3 to 0.9 X 10(9)) as well as a lower platelet yield (3.4 to 4.3 X 10(11)). No difference in yield was observed when plateletpheresis was performed with ACD-A or ACD-B employing the single-stage channel of IBM 2997. Paresthesias was the most frequently seen side effect in donors, with a higher incidence when using ACD-A and IBM 2997.
