3D Microfluidic Mixer for Rapid Smartphone-based Diagnosis of AnemiaWednesday, 28 September 2016 at 08:30  Add to Calendar ▼2016-09-28 08:30:002016-09-28 09:30:00Europe/London3D Microfluidic Mixer for Rapid Smartphone-based Diagnosis of AnemiaSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.comClinical diagnosis requiring a central facility and site visits can be burdensome for patients in resource-limited or rural areas. Therefore, development of a low-cost microfluidic chip that utilizes smartphone data collection and transmission would beneficially enable disease self-management and point-of-care diagnosis. We demonstrated 3D simulation-guided printing for fabricating micro-, millifluidic mixers, which allows rapid study and testing of various geometries in lab-on-a-chip devices. Combined with smartphone, a 3D printed microfluidic mixer for auto-mixing of reagents via capillary force has been implemented, for measuring hemoglobin levels in finger-prick blood. Self-diagnosis of anemia has been successfully demonstrated using smartphone detection, showing consistent results with clinical measurements. Capable of 3D fabrication flexibility and smartphone compatibility, this work presents a novel diagnostic strategy for advancing personalized medicine and disease management. |
