The RheoScan-D™ consists of a main unit, plastic microchip and a laptop pc. Blood drawn from a patient finger-stick (5 ㎕) is diluted with PBS solution and loaded in a single-use, finely fabricated microchip where it is read by the main unit. The results are presented in la minute via graphical interfaces on the monitor.
CSS is the minimum shear stress needed to disaggregate RBC aggregation, and appears to be an excellent index to represent RBC aggregation. First, CSS is hematocrit-independent so hematocrit correction
Ultimately, anyone at risk of developing circulatory disorders will benefit from better technology for measuring cell deformability and critical shear stress. Quick and easy measurements at the point
