Determination of Blood Type Using Real Blood and Saliva Lab Activity

Science Using Real Samples.

• Students experience real world examples of blood typing
• All required chemicals are included

This kit has been designed to allow students to test their own saliva to determine their ABO blood type. Students that are part of the ~80% of the human population that secrete their blood antigens will perform titers to understand which bloodtype they belong to. These titers will be performed using supplied screened/typed human blood samples allowing the students to better understand how real blood typing works and what would happen if the wrong blood was given to a patient needing a transfusion. The initial box contains all of the non-perishable supplies including a disinfecting solution spray as well as a coupon that is to be redeemed for the perishable components near the time of use.
