Description: |
AbstractThe flow behavior of blood is determined mainly by red blood cell (RBC) deformation and aggregation as well as blood viscoelasticity. These intricately interdependent parameters should be monitored by healthcare providers to understand all aspects of circulatory flow dynamics under numerous cases including cardiovascular and infectious diseases. Current medical instruments and microfluidic systems lack the ability to quantify these parameters all at once and in physiologically relevant flow conditions. This work presents a handheld platform and a measurement method for quantitative analysis of multiple of these parameters from 50 μl undiluted blood inside a miniaturized channel. The assay is based on an optical transmission analysis of collective RBC deformation and aggregation under near-infrared illumination during a 1 s damped oscillatory flow and at stasis, respectively. Measurements with blood of different hemo-rheological properties demonstrate that the presented approach holds a potential for initiating simultaneous and routine on-chip blood flow analysis even in resource-poor settings. see all
