title: [Standardization trial of ABO-Rh(D) blood typing using a U-microplate].
abstract: This study reports the results of ABO-Rh (D) typing in microplate according to a suggested protocol. 35,532 blood typings were performed by 13 laboratories, compared to usual technics. This work has proved the feasibility in routine of this protocol in order to identify the A, B, D and weak antigens. However the difficulties in detecting some weak variants reveal the interest of standards for immuno-haematology reagents, to apply in the microplate technology.
