• Blood group determination according to the ABO system and Rh factor;
• Typing of antigens from the Rh and Kell systems;
• Testing for antigens from other blood group systems;
• Screening for the presence of anti-erythrocyte antibodies;
• Identification of present anti-erythrocyte antibodies;
• Titer of detected anti-erythrocyte antibodies;
• Selection of compatible blood through in vitro compatibility testing;
• Antinatal, perinatal, and postnatal diagnostics.
