Within twelve years of its introduction for blood group serology testing in the blood bank, the gel test has gained widespread usage throughout Thailand, especially for antibody screening, crossmatching, direct antiglobulin testing and blood group antigen typing. The gel test has been proven to be more sensitive than the standard conventional tube test. Furthermore, the test itself is simple and practical for mass screening and application in emergency situations.
