This work proposes to offer cost-effective, portable and high-throughput blood tests by combining mass-produced microfluidic devices and open-source robotic equipment. Timed flow analysis with a Raspberry Pi simultaneously monitored 120 capillaries in 12 parallel disposable devices, quantitatively determining fluid properties and enabling measurement of dynamic changes. Thrombin-stimulated blood slowed the flow rate due to the clotting effect. This method has the potential to improve cardiovascular health by enabling high-throughput multi-parameter analyses for haematological testing.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the web link below to access the paper!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Time- and distance-resolved robotic imaging of fluid flow in vertical microfluidic strips: a new technique for quantitative, multiparameter measurement of global haemostasis\" href=\"https:\/\/pubs.rsc.org\/en\/content\/articlehtml\/2023\/sd\/d3sd00162h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Time- and distance-resolved robotic imaging of fluid flow in vertical microfluidic strips: a new technique for quantitative, multiparameter measurement of global haemostasis<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Measuring blood coagulation and haemostasis often requires choosing between low throughput tests at high resolution or simpler tests.
