Assessing whole blood viscosity and microvascular flow conditions
About
Adhesion & Viscosity
The RheologyChip can be functionalized with adhesion proteins for simultaneous adhesion & viscosity measurements.
Whole blood flow properties
Combined effect of adhesion and RBC deformability can be measured via analyzing blood flow.
Hypoxia
The RheologyChip can be integrated with our microgas exchanger (hypoxia assay) to measure whole blood viscosity in hypoxia.
TypicalUses
Clinical Assay, Personalized Medicine, Drug Development
Targeted Therapies
Drugs that target whole blood rheology.
Curative Therapies
NHLBI-supported multi-site study to assess RBC mediated microcapillary occlusions before and after a gene-based therapy for curative intent(1).
