One possible outcome of an antibody-antigen reaction is hemolysis -- in blood banking if hemolysis is observed it may represent a positive reaction -- ie an antibody may be present and causing the hemolysis. If a specimen is hemolyzed to start, it is impossible to detect this type of positve reaction.

Hemolysed serum contains both antigens and antibodies. For example A group blood if hemolysed contains A antigen B antibody in the resultant serum..
A B group blood serum contains A antigen and B antigen and no antibodies
O group blood if hemolysed contains both A and B antibodies and no antigens
So such sera are not useful for testing.
