Microfluidic Device Automatically Monitors Whole Blood Hemostasis

An assay has been devised for testing blood's clotting tendency, also known as hemostasis, which could one day prove lifesaving in a variety of clinical situations in which a patient's health is jeopardized by abnormal blood coagulation and platelet function.  More...
