Isolation of white blood cells using paper-triggered dissolvable-film valves on a centrifugal platform.
In: The 18th International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences (µTAS 2014), 26-30 Oct 2014, San Antonio, TX..
Abstract
The inherent centrifugation capability of the so-called ‘Lab-on-a-Disc’ (LoaD) platforms is widely used for blood processing during sample preparation. Here we introduce a valving technique which ena-bles rotational control of paper wetting to actuate dissolvable film (DF) valves. This mechanism is applied to the separation of whole blood into its chief constituents; plasma, leukocytes and erythrocytes.
