The suggested procedure for an immediate spin crossmatch is to add one drop of 3-5% saline washed donor red blood cell suspension to two drops of recipient plasma in a test tube. This will allow for a quick and efficient determination of ABO compatibility between the donor and recipient. Adding more drops of either component may dilute the sample too much and affect the accuracy of the test result.
