RBC retardation and plasma separation. (a) Graph shows the time that needed for a blood group B blood to reach the second loop (indicated by arrowhead in panel b) in the two arms functionalized by anti-A or anti-B group specific antibodies. The experiment was repeated 4 times, data pairs of the same run are represented by identical symbols. (b) A picture taken at the end of experiment (7 min) shows that the plasma separated from red blood cells only in the arm that was functionalized by anti-B antibodies. (c) Graph presents the length of RBC or plasma of a blood group B blood in the two arms at the end of experiment. (d) Light microscopic and (e) SEM pictures shows that RBC’s binds to the functionalized area.
