Three tests need to be undertaken
1)The major test where 3 drops of plasma from the recipient and one drop of red blood cells from the donor are added together left for 1-3 minutes and then examined microscopically. If this reaction shows there is agglutination the transfusion should not be performed.

2)Minor test where 3 drops of donor plasma is added to 1 drop of recipient red blood cells. If agglutination occurs then transfusion can occur but with constant monitoring of the patient.
