Objective To explore the applicable value of microcolumn gel immunoassay(MGIA) in transfusion-related experiments(blood typing, cross matching, antibody titration), and carry out its methodical evaluation. Methods Fifteen anti-Rh D positive samples from 55 Rh D negative patients, twenty-one cases of discrepant blood typing and twenty-nine cross matching positive samples were studied by applying MGIA and routine tube test simultaneously. Antibody titer data from 853 pregnant women with type O were brought into statistics. Results In 55 Rh D negative samples, the positive rate of Rh D antibody tested by MGIA and tube test was 27.27%(15/55) and 21.82 % (12/55) respec-tively,and the samples with titer 1:4 above got the coincident results by the two methods. For twen-ty-one discrepant blood typing samples, 11 cases with weak reaction showed discrepant results by MGIA;however, all samples showed weak reaction by tube test. In 29 samples with cross matching positive by MGIA,2 cases were confirmed to be negative by tube test. For the pregnant women with type O,IgG antibody titer abnormal ratio was 33.18%(144/434) if their respective husbands was with type A,33.17%(139/419) if their respective husbands was with type B.Conclusion MGIA is charac-teristic of convenience, fastness and reliability of test results, but its false-positive or false-negative should be paid attention to. When abnormal results occur, traditional tube test as well asmicroscopic examination should be performed in parallel.
