What's Tested

Blood Type

Both A and B antigens play a significant role in blood typing, which in combination with specific antibodies create four major blood groups (A, B, AB, and O [has neither the A or B surface protein]).
Rhesus Factor

The third antigen that influences blood type is called Rh, making your blood type either positive when it’s present or negative when it’s absent

Having a blood transfusion?

If you need an urgent blood transfusion, knowing your blood type could save valuable time; it's vital to receive blood that is compatible with your specific blood type or from the universal donor (Type O) should you need a transfusion.¹

Are you pregnant?

Knowing your blood type in advance can help you plan for a healthy pregnancy and prevent potential health risks.

Planning to donate blood?

Knowing your blood type allows you to donate blood readily when there is a low supply of your particular blood type; one unit of blood can potentially save three lives.¹
