How To Find Out Your Blood Type at Home
Finding your blood type is simple—as long as you have the right test supplies. This home blood test kit is easy to use and gives you the same accurate results you'd get from a medical lab, all from the privacy of your own home.
Understanding Blood Types
There are four main blood types or blood groups:
- Type A
- Type B
- Type AB
- Type O
Each of these blood types can be positive or negative for the Rh factor. So in total, there are eight possible blood types: A+ or A-, B+ or B-, AB+ or AB-, and O+ or O-.
How Blood Typing Works
Blood typing, whether at home or in a lab, is based on the way red blood cells clump together or agglutinate. Agglutination is caused by the presence of Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies reacting with the A and B antigens in the red blood cells. Each of these individual blood type kits tests for red blood cell type and Rh factor, and they should give accurate results if used properly.
While this home blood test kit is easy to use, the process is time sensitive. Please read all documentation prior to using the lancet or wetting the card. We recommend doing this blood typing test with a helper - it makes the testing process easier!
