A research team at MIT has developed a new microfluidic technique for doing Blood Analysis
without requiring expensive diagnostic lab equipment.
Analysis of Blood is really important for diagnosis of varies of diseases. However,
the problem is that the Blood analysis requires expensive instruments and its usually done in laboratory.
And, this is not an option for many people in the world. Because they
simply do not have access to high-tech facilities. So, we made a microfluidic device which has
a channel coated with molecules that naturally interact with molecules in the cell. But we
engineered it so that we could put a drop of blood into the device
and stir certain cells out of blood stream for analysis. We are trying to develop a new type of process
that could potentially be done right at the point-of-care without the need for expensive instruments.
