What mixes the donor blood with the recipient blood to determine blood compatibly?

The blood receiver's blood is drawn before the transfusion to do a crossmatch. A crossmatch is when a small amount of the donor blood and the recipient's blood are mixed together then placed on a microscope slide to watch how the two get along. If clumping occurs, they look for a different donor unit. Besides blood types A B and O, and Rh values of positive and negative, there are also many other factors that can affect compatibility such as antibodies and proteins with such names as cold agglutin, anti K, or such. I am just an RN and this is a simple answer that a Medical Technologist could answer more completely.
