Abstract

A simple method to convert red blood cells (RBCs) into efficient microreactors is reported. Triton X‐100 is employed at finely tuned concentrations to render RBCs highly permeable to substrates, while low concentrations of glutaraldehyde are used to stabilize cells. The ability for blood detoxification of these microreactors is demonstrated.
