Microfluidic Separation of Blood for SIMBAS Biosensor [BPN621]
The goal of this research is to characterize and optimize a continuous-flow, sedimentation-
based blood fractionation platform. The microfluidic system will separate from a blood sample a
platelet-enriched plasma containing pathogens and pathogenic biomarkers. It will also provide a stream
of concentrated blood cells including pathogenic plasmodial cells. The project supports the
development of a Universal Sample Preparation and Pre-Concentration (USB) module for the SIMBAS
project.
