About Compatible Unit Probability Calculator
How many units to screen when antibodies need antigen-negative blood. The Compatible Unit Probability Calculator on Picscaler gives you the answer instantly in your browser, with no sign-up.
Inputs: Units needed, Antigen-negative frequency 1 (%), Antigen-negative frequency 2 (%) and Antigen-negative frequency 3 (%). Results shown: Chance a unit is compatible and Units to screen (about).
Formula: Combined % = f1 x f2 x f3 / 10,000; units to screen = units needed / (combined % / 100). Use the antigen-negative frequency for each antibody. A planning estimate only.
This tool is for education and information. It does not replace clinical judgement, so confirm results against your laboratory's reference ranges and local guidelines.
