| Summary: | based
antigen-antibody reactions in vitro, which is
detected by a hemagglutination at the end of the
reaction. ABO blood group and Rh blood typing which is
routinely done in health care, particularly blood
transfusion. Conventional method is the tube method
and/or the slide method. In the development of
laboratory technology has been introduced in the gel
agglutination method, known as the gel method or gel
test. Gel method ways of working is much easier and
clearer when reading the reaction, which is expected to
replace the conventional method.
Objective: To compare the ABO blood typing and Rh
typing between the gel agglutination method with the
tube agglutination method and slide agglutination
method.
Methodology: Material taken from the patient's
examination at DR Sardjito Hospital who is going to be
examined for ABO blood typing and Rhesus typing for
transfusion purposes. Comparison test methods and
results were analyzed descriptively from blood type and
strength of the reaction between gel method with the
tube method. Just for slide methods were analyzed for
only blood typing results.
The results: Obtained material examination of 24
patients with 11 men's division and 13 women, aged 3
patients under 1 year old and 50-89 year range as many
as 21 patients. There is no difference in the results
of ABO and Rh blood typing between gel methods, tube
methods and slide methods. Reaction force is more
sensitive gel method than tube method, especially for
the D antigen in the Rhesus system.
Conclusion: The method of gel gives easier and more
accurate results than the method of tube and slide
methods in the ABO and Rh blood typing.
