For both hospitals and blood suppliers, obtaining an extended antigen profile for 20 or more blood group antigens with a single genotyping assay is a valuable application of molecular immunohematology. This growing technology can aid antibody identification and selection of antigen-matched blood components, particularly for patients with multiple and/or rare antibodies. Blood group genotyping provides a reliable method of in-depth, precise, and efficient prediction of phenotypes. It has become a critical tool in many clinical settings.
