چکیده
Counting the different subpopulations of cells in a fingerprick of human blood is important for a number of clinical point-of-care (PoC) applications. It is a challenge to demonstrate the integration of sample preparation and detection techniques in a single platform. In this paper we demonstrate a generic microfluidic platform that combines sample processing and characterisation and enumeration in a single, integrated system. Results of microfluidic 3-part differential leukocyte (granulocyte, lymphocyte and monocyte) counts, together with erythrocyte and thrombocyte (platelet) counts, in human blood are shown and corroborated with results from hospital clinical laboratory analysis.

متن کاملLongitudinal waves in homogeneous anisotropic cylindrical bars immersed in fluid
The propagation of a longitudinal wave in an anisotropic cylindrical bar immersed in water is considered. Energy is leaked into the surrounding fluid in the form of traveling waves, and this leakage determines the amplitude of the signal in the rod. This aspect is important in nondestructive evaluation of composite rods. The governing equation of the longitudinal waves traveling in the rod is o...

Substitution therapies for orphan genetic diseases, including enzyme replacement methods, are frequently hampered by the limited availability of the required therapeutic substance. We describe the isolation of a pterin intermediate from bacteria that was successfully used for the therapy of a hitherto incurable and lethal disease. Molybdenum cofactor (Moco) deficiency is a pleiotropic genetic d...
