Edvotek® The Science Behind Finding A Perfect Match: Blood Typing For Stem Cell Transplants

Learn about blood analysis to determine compatibility.

• Analyze simulated blood samples Learn to count white blood cells using a hemocytometer Perform blood compatibility tests Determine who is the best candidate to donate stem cells

In this experiment, students will take on the role of transplant physicians. They will analyze simulated blood samples for transplant compatibility and compare genetic markers to identify which donor is the best match for a leukemia patient in need of a stem cell transplant.
