Each objective below describes a competency you will apply at the immunohematology bench, interpretation first, memorization second.

  • Recognize Lutheran, Diego, Cartwright, Dombrock, and Colton as systems that may explain unexpected reactivity after common panel exclusions
  • Distinguish high-frequency from low-frequency antigen problems in antibody investigation framing
  • Apply a structured laboratory interpretation approach that escalates rare-system workups per institutional SOP rather than forcing a premature specificity
