Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This paper demonstrates an integrated microfluidic system that performs a full blood count using impedance analysis. The microfluidic network design for RBC lysis is presented and the diffusive mixing processes analysed using experimental and simulated results. Healthy and clinical bloods were analyzed with this system and the data shows good correlation against data obtained from commercial haematology machines. The data from the microfluidic system was compared against hospital data for 18 clinical samples, giving R2 (coefficient of determination) values of 0.99 for lymphocytes, 0.89 for monocytes and 0.99 for granulocytes in terms of relative counts, and 0.94 for lymphocytes, 0.91 for monocytes and 0.95 for granulocytes in terms of absolute counts. This demonstrates the potential clinical utility of this new system for a point-of-care purpose.
