A lab technician added few drops of antigen B to a blood sample what is the aim of him by doing so
Answers
Hello there!
The aim of the lab technician is to find out the blood type of the blood sample.
After adding B antigen to the blood sample, if the blood sample forms clots then the blood sample is either type B or type AB.
However, if the blood sample does not form clots then the blood sample is not blood type B or AB. The blood sample is either O or A.
To further specify the blood type of the blood sample, the lab technician can further test the blood sample with antigen A.
I hope this will help you!

Answer: The aim of the lab technician is to check the blood group and the rhesus factors of the blood. If the blood doesn't clot after adding antigen B then the blood group is that of the given antigen. Thus he can check out the blood group compatibility.
