Abstract
A simple micro haemagglutination inhibition technique, based on Hepatest (Wellcome Reagents Limited), is described. Its application in the screening of blood donors is shown, and its sensitivity is discussed in two forms of usage and also when compared to the previous immunoelectroosmophoresis technique used in this centre.Keywords
