RheologyChip

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.

Typical
Uses

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).
