Q: Why is equipment validation important in laboratory practice?
Did You Know?
A positive autocontrol (patient's serum reacting with their own red cells) suggests the presence of an autoantibody coating their red cells in vivo (like in autoimmune hemolytic anemia) or a condition causing a positive Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT). It complicates antibody identification.
