[Immunology] why veronal?

Hi all, 
Can anyone explain the use of veronal in haemolytic complement assays? 
(particularly alternate pathway assays).  I'm guessing it in some way 
stabilises the rbcs- reducing background lysis, but this is very much a 
guess.
Problem is I'll need a Home Office licence to get some veronal ordered and 
it seems like quite a bit of effort for what (I suspect) may be just one 
experiment.  
Nybody tried to do this sort of assay without adding veronal, maybe on nice 
fresh erythrocytes or something similar.

all contributions gratefully received
Clive
