The British author, JK Rowling, presented a visionary idea in her novel “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” that one can interrogate a piece of paper for information and get unambiguous answers from the paper in writing. Here we report a study, following her vision, on using a low-cost bioactive paper device to perform ABO and rhesus (RhD) blood typing tests and obtain test results from the paper in writing. Paper text patterns are designed and printed to allow interactions between grouping antibodies and red blood cells. Composite text patterns consisting of the bioactive and nonbioactive sections are used to form the letters and symbols for the final display of the testing report. This paper-based blood typing device rapidly reports patient s blood type in unambiguous written text.Patterned bioactive paper as a tool for biochemical analysis has become a platform for making low-cost and user-operated devices for diagnosis,[1] point of care (POC),[1–6] pathogen and biomarker detection,[1, 4, 5] and food and drinking water quality testing.[7] The potential of this platform to deliver affordable, rapid, and user-friendly diagnostic sensors for disease screening, healthcare and drinking water quality evaluation to the developing countries has become increasingly clear.[1, 4, 8–10] Over the last five years, there has been an explosion of research in bioactive paper-based low-cost sensor fabrication,[1, 3, 4, 11–16] electronic transmission of colorimetric assays for real-time diagnosis,[6, 17] as well as new diagnostic and environmental applications using low-cost sensors.[6, 7, 18–21] Colorimetric and electrochemical methods are the preferred analytical approaches for bioactive paper sensors, since these methods are proven to be effective in qualitative and semi-quantitative sensing and can be easily adapted onto paper.[3, 6, 21, 22] However, those studies also revealed certain limitations of those new concepts in their practical applications.
