The ABO
blood typing system was discovered
around 100 years ago and is still an
invaluable tool in medical diagnostics and
forensic science. Our blood typing kit uses
synthetic blood and anti-sera to simulate
agglutination reactions that are extremely
realistic and yet perfectly safe to use, as
the kit contains no blood or blood products.
The kit contains enough materials for 30
students to work simultaneously, and the
consumable items can be replaced without
having to re-purchase the durable
components.
Code LAK1SC
(Full Kit) = $69.30+GST
Code LAK1SCRF
(Refill Kit) = $35.20+GST |
