as a uniform and stable solution. From the evident difference in the transport of solution and channel appearance, one can identify the separation effect for the determination of blood type. Noiphung et al. at 2014 followed up an approach in paper-based microfluidic blood typing using antibodies to cause red blood cells agglutination, and the group designed a new paper-based analytical device (PAD) for blood grouping that can be used for the synchronous performation of Rh and forward and reverse ABO blood grouping on the same device. Forward grouping is a blood typing procedure whereby patient red blood cells are mixed with Anti-A and Anti-B reagents. On the other hand, reverse typing is a blood typing procedure where patient serum is mixed with reagent A cells and reagent B cells. The results should be the opposite of forward typing. The designed device has two sides: forward (F) side, made of chromatography paper with three channels spotted with 1.5 mL Anti-A, Anti-B, and Anti-D antibody solutions each, and reverse (R) side, made with blood separation membrane and connected to A-type and B-type antibodies channels. The PAD is fabricated using a combination of wax dipping technologies to join Whatman chromatography paper and blood separation membrane. The device included three wax-printed channels for forward grouping, two of which were also applied for reverse grouping. While R-side was capable for whole blood sample analysis, Noiphung’s group found that whole blood samples are too viscous to be directly applied on a paper-side of the device. During the experiment, it was determined that the optimal blood-water dilution ratio is 1:2. The blood typing was executed by measuring the ratio of red blood cells (RBC) and plasma transport distances. The accuracy of the proposed PADs in blood typing was 92%, 85%, 89%, 93%, and 96% for A, B, AB, O, and Rh+ blood types respectively. Glucose detection Paper-based microfluidic devices have been designed to monitor a wide variety of medical ailments. Glucose plays an important role in diabetes and cancer, and it can be detected through a catalytic cycle involving glucose oxidase, hydrogen peroxide, and horseradish peroxidase that initiates a reaction between glucose and a color indicator, frequently potassium iodide, on a paper-based microfluidic device. This is an example of colorimetric detection. The first paper-based microfluidic device, developed by George Whitesides’ group at Harvard, was able to simultaneously detect protein as well as glucose via color-change reactions (potassium
