On-chip plasma generation from whole blood

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.

amazing!

[@punnamchanderveerati5267]

Impressive!

It seems like gravity is the only driven force, or the capillary force as well?

[@microfluidicchipshop]

You are right, in this case the passiv filtering of the blood is driven by gravity.

[@sisouhzl5645]

How long does it take for the completion of the filtration please?

Can we see the whole detail about this chip.. i am a mechanical engineer and i am also working on these chips designing.

[@parthshinde525]

Where can I get the details about this chip as I am a researching on the similar field myself. Please let me know on how much time and what compounds did you use to separate Plasma from Blood on the chip. Thank you

[@microfluidicchipshop]

The time depends on the sample itself. This video was done with gravity only but you can also use a pump. You can get more information and our Flyer by writing an e-mail to: [e-mail]

How much cost it is?
