A simple Schiff-based colorimetric fluorescent receptor 1 was prepared. It exhibits a "turn-on-type" mode with high sensitivity in the presence of F(-). The change in color is very easily observed by the naked eye in the presence of F(-), whereas other anions do not induce such a change.

Genotyping for Kidd, Kell, Duffy, Scianna, and RHCE blood group antigens polymorphisms in Jiangsu Chinese Han.

Background: Molecular testing is more precise compared to serology and has been widely used in genotyping blood group antigens. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of blood group antigens can be determined by the polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific priming (PCR-SSP) assay. Commercial high-throughput platforms can be expensive and are not approved in China.
