Summary

This document describes the DAT (Direct Antiglobulin Test), a laboratory procedure used in immunology and blood banking. It details the steps involved in performing the test, reagents used, and interpretations of results. It also discusses related tests like elution and neutralization, and their application in various clinical scenarios.
