Description
Chinnawut Pipatpanukul, Komkrisd Wongtimnoi, Laurent Mezeix, and Santi Phosri wrote this research paper, published in 2026. It builds a paper strip that types blood for transfusion, using a surface chemistry that anchors antibodies without staining the paper or blocking its wicking.
Safe transfusion needs fast, exact ABO typing, but standard methods need centrifuges that field clinics lack. The team compared two ways to coat cellulose paper. One made the paper water-repellent and left a red tint that ruins the readout. The other, an epoxysilane, attached antibodies in one gentle step and stayed invisible. On eighty clinical samples, twenty of each group, the chosen device scored every sample correctly, with eye and instrument readings in full agreement. The authors note all samples were RhD positive, a limit for the next study.
