Abstract:
This paper presents a new methodology for blood phenotyping based on the plate test and on image processing techniques to determine the occurrence of agglutination (between blood sample and reagent). A portable device for ABO-Rh blood typing and blood phenotying that automates all the analysis procedure, including mixture/centrifugation, reading and interpretation of results is presented. The system was tested with donor blood samples.
