Scientists discuss in 'Measurement of erythrocyte aggregation in a microchip stirring system by light transmission' new findings in life sciences. "In the analysis of red blood cell (RBC) aggregation using optical detection, various shearing methods have been used to disperse RBCs in confined geometries. This study investigated RBC aggregation measurement in a microchip-stirring system by analysis of light transmission," scientists in Seoul, Korea report.
"A stirring-aided disaggregation mechanism in a microchip, consisting of a flat-cylindrical test chamber (D=4 mm, H=0.3 mm) and a magnetic stirrer (d=0.14 mm, l=2.2 mm), was used to generate a given shear which was...
