Abstract
Objectives: Study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of gel card techniques over conventional spin tube methods, particularly in emergency situations and to compare conventional tube method without AHG, with AHG, and Bio-Rad Dia med ID gel card techniques, in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and reliability of results. Methods: This study was conducted at a rural-based testing care center with a sample size of 140. It compared the efficacy of conventional tube methods (with and without anti-human globulin (AHG)) and the Bio-Rad DiaMed ID gel card technique. The study assessed the sensitivity, specificity, and reliability of these methods, particularly under emergency conditions.
