Blood is the most intensely studied human biofluid and is used as the main indicator of the
health status of an individual. Blood is a very complex fluid, containing a multiplicity of …

The utilizations of microfluidic chips for single RBC (red blood cell) studies have attracted
great interests in recent years to filter, trap, analyze, and release single erythrocytes for …

Transfusion of red blood cells (RBCs) is one of the most valuable and widespread
treatments in modern medicine. Lifesaving RBC transfusions are facilitated by the cold …

Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a critical choice for applications of point-of-care testing
(POCT) in clinical and laboratory environments because of its excellent features and …

A continuous microfluidic viscometer is used to measure blood coagulation. The viscometer
operates by flowing oil and blood into a cross section where droplets are generated. At a set …

Prothrombin time (PT) is a significant coagulation (hemostasis) biomarker used to diagnose
several thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications based on its direct correlation with …

The flow behavior of blood is determined mainly by red blood cell (RBC) deformation and
aggregation as well as blood viscoelasticity. These intricately interdependent parameters …

Hemostasis is a defence mechanism that prevents blood losses in cases of vessel injuries,
and other related disorders. In many cases, patients need to frequently monitor their blood …

Thickness measurement is very critical especially in fabrication of micro and nano devices to
determine the thickness of the layers. Stylus measurement is the easiest and most common …
