Dear Steemians, I trust we are okay. I bring to you another of my dairy game, more about my domain of studies. I hope you get to learn something new as you read.

INTRODUCTION

My diary of today is about my field of studies medical laboratory technician. This is just one of the many Magics performed in the laboratory. it’s indeed an interesting thing to get to mix substances and see results and interpret those results. This is one of the reasons most people refer to medicine as Whiteman witchcraft😂. Well enjoy😊

ABOUT THE PRACTICALS

We were all in class waiting for the lecturer before receiving a message from a classmate that we all should come down to the laboratory that the lecturer is the waiting for us.
We all hurriedly went down to the laboratory, all dressed in our laboratory jackets set for the practicals. The lecturer received a call and asked us to excuse him for 5minutes he stepped out and we started discussing with each other.

_{Waiting for the lecturer}

After about 20minutes, the lecturer returned and the practicals commenced. He collected blood samples from 4 different students who did not know their blood groups and he did the test for one student soo we observed. Then, 3 different students carried out the test for the other blood samples. This enabled those students to know their blood groups.

Requirements

Blood Sample, AntiSera A , B, C and D, Tiles, cotton, alcohol, syringes, gloves, test tubes, test tube rag, etc.

_{Reagents for blood grouping}

Procedure

• Blood Sample collected using a syringe is placed in a test tube containing anticoagulant.
• A drop of blood sample is placed on 4 different squares on the tiles.
• Each anti sera A, B , C and D is place beside the 4 drops of blood respectively
• Mixed Blood and AntiSera
• Swirl tiles to observe agglutination.

Results

• For a person with blood group A
  You will observes agglutination on the blood mixed with anti sera A and AB.
• For a person with blood group B
  You will observe agglutination on the blood mixed with anti sera B and AB.
• For a person with blood group AB
  You will observe agglutination on the blood mixed with anti sera A, B and AB.
• For a person with blood group 0
  You will observer no agglutination on all of the blood mixed with the antisera.

Now, agglutination on the antisera D indicates a positive Rhesus that is A+ if there is agglutination on blood mixed with anti sera A, AB and anti D. And that goes for all. In a case where there is no agglutination on antisera D it implies rhesus Negative.

Thanks for going through my dairy.
