On-chip plasma generation from whole blood

Описание: In this video microfluidic ChipShop addresses a challenge that everyone faces when developing a point-of-care application: the sample preparation. Sample matrices like sputum or blood need particular attention, when introducing them into a microfluidic analytical system. This video shows one approach we utilize at microfluidic ChipShop to separate blood plasma from whole blood on chip.
This Fluidic design has been tailored for on-chip analysis with a pre- and post-membrane chamber enabling i.e. optical readouts. In addition to this design there are further blood plasma generation chips with different working principles available. Some other designs even allow collecting the generated plasma.
