Knowing your or your children’s blood type can save lives. Not only you need to know your and your loved ones blood type but you also can save very valuable time if you have a blood type card that you can carry. This test kit can do both for you.

When immediate blood transfusion or replacement is required knowing your blood type can save your life. Unfortunately, many surveys indicate that a high percentage of people do not have their critical blood type group information because either they don't ask or they forget when the medical professionals communicate their patients with this blood type information.

The EldonCard blood typing kit uses the basic forward antibody method of blood hematology to easily and quickly provide the user with their blood type (A, AB, B or O) and rhesus factor (Rh negative or Rh positive) in a few minutes without the need for special laboratory supplies or training.

The blood type test card included in this collection kit can be filled out with personal identification information and laminated with the provided plastic sheet to make a permanent record card. The EldonCard instant blood type test kit is also excellent for classroom instruction and other educational applications.

Knowing your blood type can save lives in the immediate medical emergencies but can even do more. There are many research findings that show eating right for your blood type can help you maintain a long healthy life style. There are blood type diets that talk about the importance of eating right for your A,B, AB or O blood type with Rh factor.

Blood typing is determined by the type of antigens or markers that are on the surface of red blood cells (either "A" or "B") and if there are antibodies to a portion of the blood type known as the Rh factor (either "positive" or "negative"). Blood type is inherited from and dependent upon, the blood type of an individual's parents.

In the case of blood transfusion, blood type needs to be compatible or an allergic-type reaction can occur resulting from the immune system of the recipient attacking the incompatible donor blood cells as invading organisms.

It is very important to know the Rh factor status when a woman is pregnant. If a pregnant woman is Rh negative and her baby is Rh positive, the mother's immune system can sometimes attack the baby's blood cells because of the differing blood types. Pregnant women should routinely have a blood typing test done to see if they are at risk.

Why is it important to know your Blood Type?
When our body is exposed to something foreign like a blood transfusion our immune system kicks in to protect us. The most important tool our body uses will be production of antibodies, protein molecules that bind to a specific antigen. Because of this a mismatch between blood donor and recipient can result in a mild to very serious reaction.
