ACTIVITY 1A Blood Typing with Simulated Blood.

.2. Using the dropper vial, place a drop of the first simulated blood sample in each well of the blood typing slide.

3. Add a drop of simulated anti-A serum (blue) to the well labeled A.

4. Add a drop of simulated anti-B serum (yellow) to the well labeled B.

5. Add a drop of simulated anti-Rh serum (clear) to the well labeled Rh.

.6. Using a different color-mixing stick for each well (blue for anti-A, yellow for anti-B, white for anti-Rh), gently stir the simulated blood and antiserum drops for 30 seconds.Caution:

7. Carefully examine the thin films of liquid mixture that are left behind. If a film remains uniform in appearance, there is no agglutination. If the sample appears granular, agglutination has occurred. Determine the blood type of the sample using the table below as a guide. Establish whether or not agglutination has occurred in each sample. A positive agglutination reaction indicates the blood type. Record your results in Data Table 1 for this activity.

8. Document which simulated blood sample was used.

9. Repeat steps 2 through 9 for the other simulated blood samples (2, 3, and 4).

Answer 1

The agglutination means we can see clumping in those blood smears. If we see clumping I'm the blood drop mixed with anti serum A it means the blood contains Antigen A. If the anti serum B added blood shows clumping it means the blood contains Antigen B. If there is clumping in Anti Rh sera it means it has The antigen. The one with RH antigen is +ve and without The antigen is -ve. If the blood is A positive, there will be clumping in A and Rh.
