Detecting Blood Coagulation On-Chip
- 技術優勢
- Can be used with plasma and/or whole bloodLow-cost method
- 技術應用
- medical devices used for blood coagulation
- 詳細技術說明
- Two traditional laboratory methods of measuring speed of blood coagulation are thromboelastography and prothrombin time; both having significant limitations. Our inventors have developed a new on-chip optical sensor based on back reflection from the on-chip optical waveguide interface. Blood coagulation can be easily tracked by measuring the change in the reflected power. Our simulations show that it can be directly used for the measurements in blood plasma, and with additional signal processing can be used in whole blood.
