Sometimes if you don't have a proper bookmark handy, anything else will suffice!
This blood test card was found amongst the pages of one of our books. The card (c.1950) has 5 shades for comparing a small blood sample. Fortunately this card is sample free!

Scarificator, late 17th century. This instrument with spring-loaded blades delivered many cuts simultaneously. Afterwards, the doctor placed a heated cup over the site. As it cooled, blood was forced out of the wounds.

Seroanthropology was a big deal in early 20th century. Workers tried to use blood groups to classify mankind. As more was learned about genetics, it fell out of favor. But the history is still useful and interesting. A detailed account is found in this new book.

The first blood collection in 1930s Britain was stored in reused milk bottles. The milk bottle design remained standard until the NHS introduced blood bags in 1975.
The bottles were nicknamed "the Janet Vaughan" after the doctor who helped set up the first national blood bank.

Transfusion reaction research looking into mtDNA
New Review in #VoxSanguinis!
Could mitochondrial DNA be a hidden trigger for transfusion reactions? This review explores how #mtDNA in blood products may contribute to adverse events like febrile reactions, TRALI, and ARDS—plus strategies to minimize risks.
