Im wondering when u goto a lab and give them a blood sample they tell u wat blood type you are. Like A, O and stuff like that. Just wondering how do they test that? Do they add a special chemical to the blood and it changes color or something like that?
Is there any way tp test it at home?
- Cheers, Daniel

There are reagents added to the blood sample and determination if the blood type will be based on color changes and agglutination reaction. There are many available blood typing/grouping kit which you can buy and do the test by yourself at home. Check out this link for an example of a kit which details of the test are also elaborated:♥
