| Summary: | Blood typing, also known as blood classification, comprises of the ABO and Rh(D) systems. Knowing one's blood type before blood transfusion is important because mismatched blood types can lead to hemolysis within a patient's blood vessels, which are mediated by antibodies to the RBCs in blood plasma. Through the years, blood typing tests have been known to be done manually, utilizing techniques such as slide and tube agglutination tests. Over the past 20-30 years, automated blood testing instruments were developed and are sometimes found in blood centers and some hospitals. On-site blood testing is important whenever a calamity or emergency occurs. Being able to create a portable, low-cost, sufficiently sensitive instrument for blood typing is a must to make on-site blood testing possible. The ability of the body to control the stream of blood taking after vascular injury is needed for survival. Blood clotting and after that the subsequent dissolution of the clot, taking after repair of the harmed tissue, is termed. Platelets and proteins in your plasma cooperate to stop the seeping by coagulating over the injury. Blood coagulation is also a protective component that allows the living organism to preserve hemostasis. With the improvement of PC innovation and advanced therapeutic to haemostatic and thrombosis component, blood coagulation instruments had likewise developed rapidly. It gave a considerable measure of trial records for conclusion, treatment and survival analysis of thrombus and bleeding disease. It then furthermore enhanced the quality of work productivity and the detection of results. The construction of the device will consist of connecting the LEDs and photodiodes in such a way that they would best capture the reactions (agglutination and coagulation) of the blood, and these results from the photodiodes would then be connected to a microcontroller. The microcontroller is then responsible for interpreting the results and output the obtained results. |
