cross matching

The cross matching - A procedure to determine compatibility between the blood of a person who requires a blood transfusion and that of a donor.

Red blood cells from one person are combined with serum (the clear fluid that separates from blood when it clots) from the other. Clumping of red blood cells indicates the presence of antibodies, showing that the blood is not compatible.
