"Do you Know" the procedure to differentiate between blood groups?

The blood group is found out by adding two chemicals, Anti Sera A and Anti Sera B to the sample. If the sample gets agglutinated by Anti Sera A, and not by Anti Sera B, the sample is A. If it gets agglutinated by B, but not by A, the sample is B. If it gets agglunitated by both, the sample is AB, and if by neither, the sample is O. The Rh factor is found out by adding another chemical, Anti Sera D to the sample. If the sample gets agglutinated, it has a positive Rh factor, else it has a negative Rh factor.

This is something very interesting and new to me.

This is really a new and informative thread started. Good work Sridevi..
