Hi! Blood Talks Fam. Today we will be talking about cold antibodies. We would go over what a cold antibody is, what antibodies are considered cold antibodies, what procedures you can use to detect cold antibodies, and how you can crossmatch for the patient with a cold antibody. It would be interesting to know how many times I say the word cold antibody by the end of this video. Without further ado, let's get into it.

Welcome to Blood Talks Fam. Blood Talks offers a peek into how clinical laboratory scientists (CLS) or medical laboratory technologists (MLT) work in a hospital. CLS/MLT holds an important role in the healthcare system, but unfortunately, many people do not know that they exist, simply because most of CLS/MLT work is done behind the scenes. In this channel, you can find explanations from a clinical laboratory point of view. I hope you enjoy and learn something you did not know before.
