The flow of sickle blood through glass capillaries: a point of care application

2019-11-10

Abstract excerpt

We show that the characteristic time for sickled blood to traverse 100 µm-diameter glass capillaries can be used as the foundation for a useful point-of-care diagnosis for sickle cell disease. 3.2 cm long capillaries were inserted into a 5 µL drop of blood, and 1/4 µL was spontaneously drawn into the tube. The rate at which the blood traversed the capillary was significantly changed by deoxygenation only for sickl...
