Abstract
A host computer controls a plate reader which optically reads the results between donor samples and reagents. The system provides the user with the ability to change the position of off-center light absorbance readings to maximize the power of the machine to discriminate between positive and negative agglutination reactions. In addition, the user can tailor thresholds for absorbances used to distinguish between positive, negative and 'no type determined' reactions.
