Patient Cross Match Service

What is Cross Matching?

Cross-matching is used to check the compatibility of blood and plasma between an individual donor and recipient.  Although it does not tell blood type, it does tell whether or not there will be any reaction.  If no typed blood is available, then a small sample can be drawn from a prospective donor and tested against the recipient's blood before deciding whether or not to proceed.
