∙ 12y agoA specimen is taken from a person to perform a blood type (forward and reverse) and rh to ensure that blood given during a transfusion is compatible. Some facilities will do a room temperature crossmatch in addition to this "check" of the blood type. This involves mixing patient plasma with the donor's red blood cells and observing for agglutination. More complicated crossmatches are done if the patient has developed antibodies.
