Capture experiments were also performed on whole blood samples, and the capture efficiency was in a high range of 81 - 95 %, at different tumor cell concentrations. (sciencedaily.com)
The current design is a prototype that could be integrated with other microfluidic devices to analyze whole blood samples in parallel to diagnose anemia and other underlying factors that could contribute to the disease. (sciencedaily.com)
Researchers at the University of Washington developed a device smaller than a toaster that can detect the level of hemoglobin in whole blood samples using optical absorbance. (sciencedaily.com)
