Innovating Science® - Determination of Blood Type Using Real Blood and Saliva

This kit has been designed to allow students to test their own saliva to determine their ABO blood type. Students that are part of the ~80% of the human population that secrete their blood antigens with perform titers to understand which blood type they belong to. These titers will be performed using supplied screened/typed human blood samples allowing the students to better understand how real blood typing works and what would happen if the wrong blood was given to a patient needing a transfusion. The initial box contains all of the non-perishable supplies including a disinfecting solution spray as well as a coupon that is to be redeemed for the perishable components near the time of use. This kit has all of the materials necessary for 30 students working in groups of three. Teacher's Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included.
