Crossmatch tests are performed before a blood transfusion to ensure compatibility between the donor's blood and the recipient's blood. This test helps to identify any potential immune reactions that could occur if incompatible blood is transfused. It is typically conducted after blood type and antibody screening to prevent transfusion-related complications. Additionally, crossmatch tests may be done prior to organ transplants to assess compatibility between donor and recipient.
