About Tulip Matrix AHG (Coombs) Test Card

Matrix AHG (Coombs) Test Card is used for direct coombs test (DAT) and indirect coombs tests (IAT) including antibody screening, antibody identification and compatibility testing. Contains polyspecific coombs reagent.

Enhanced Antibody Detection

Tulip Matrix AHG Test Cards are engineered for the qualitative detection of immunoglobulin and/or complement on red blood cells. The gel card technology ensures consistent and accurate outcomes for both direct and indirect Coombs tests, helping to identify clinically significant antibodies in patient samples. With pre-filled microtubes, the cards offer convenience and reliability for routine blood group serology and crossmatching.

User-friendly and Ready to Use

Each test card is pre-loaded with monoclonal polyspecific reagent, minimizing preparation time and reducing error risk. The color-coded, transparent wells facilitate correct sample dispensing and reading. The cards are lightweight, single-use, and portable, ensuring adaptability whether in hospital settings, clinical labs, or during field operations. Instruction leaflets are included to guide users through every step.

FAQ's of Tulip Matrix AHG (Coombs) Test Card:

Q: How do I use the Tulip Matrix AHG (Coombs) Test Card?

A: Begin by ensuring the card is at room temperature. Add the required EDTA whole blood or serum sample into the microtubes, following the provided instructions. Centrifuge the card as per protocols, then interpret the results directly in the microtubes. Discard the card after a single use.

Q: What types of samples are compatible with this test card?

A: The test card is designed for use with EDTA-treated whole blood or serum specimens, making it ideal for routine applications in immunohaematology such as antibody screening and crossmatching.

Q: When should this test be performed during laboratory analysis?

A: Use the Tulip Matrix AHG Test Card whenever antiglobulin testing is required, such as during direct or indirect Coombs tests in blood group serology, pre-transfusion compatibility assessments, and antibody investigations.

Q: Where can this product be used most effectively?

A: The card is suitable for application in hospitals, blood banks, and clinical laboratories across India. Its portable design also allows for use in field or emergency scenarios where reliable and rapid antibody detection is required.

Q: What is the process for result interpretation with this card?

A: After adding the sample and centrifuging the card, observe the position of red cell agglutinates in the microtubes. The distinctive gel layer assists in differentiating positive and negative reactions for clear interpretation.

Q: What are the benefits of using gel card technology in the Tulip Matrix AHG Test Card?

A: Gel card technology enhances the specificity and sensitivity of antigen-antibody detection, reduces manual intervention, and minimizes errors. This results in more reliable and reproducible outcomes compared to conventional tube methods.
