Image: The microfluidic chip works by mimicking the physiological process of 'cell rolling' where patterns of adhesive molecules are used to draw out neutrophils (blue) from a stream of blood (red) into a parallel buffer stream as shown in the bottom panel (Photo courtesy of Suman Bose and Rohit Karnik).

Microchip Separates White Blood Cells from Whole Blood

A new microchip can quickly separate white blood cells from samples of whole blood, eliminating any preliminary processing steps, which could make it difficult to integrate into point-of-care medical devices. More...
