Human platelet antigens (HPA) is located on the platelet surface and they are inherited both from the mother and the father. If a mother who is homozygous for HPA-1b carries a child who has inherited HPA-1a from the father, the mother is in danger to form antibodies against HPA-1a on the fetal platelet. This may cause the child to suffer from neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) that could lead to death. This can be prevented by platelet transfusion. EVA Biosensor Technology is a new method for detection of HPA-1 that is currently only approved for scientific research. The aim of this study was to evaluate EVAreader R6 and find HPA-1a negative platelet donors that can donate platelets to children born with NAIT. The test material consisted of blood samples from 513 male blood donors with blood group 0. The blood was lysed and tested in EVA-reader R6 from Davos Diagnostics. The result was shown on the screen after 10 min. The results that came out negative or intermediate was analyzed a second time. In total, nine HPA-1a negative donors and 503 HPA-1a positive donors were found. Approximately 2 % of the population is HPA-1a negative, which was reflected in the result. To make sure that the results are correct, a validation with an already existing method has to be made. The conclusion is that the EVA Biosensor Technology could be used for typing of HPA in the future, as long as the results from the validation is correct.
