Low-Cost Point-of-Care Diagnostic Device for Blood Cell Counting

Technology Description

The technology provides complete blood cell count and Hb for rapid diagnostics. Currently, the diagnostics based on blood tests is confined to laboratory settings and dependent on costly and bulky cytometers or on a microscope. Consequently, such facilities are not present in rural settings due to cost factor, complexity of use and non-portability.

The present technology leverages advances in microfluidics and lab-on-chip fabrication techniques to miniaturize the conventional cytometers, which will be drastically bring down the cost, will consume small reagent quantities without compromising on gold standards. Such hematology analyzers will be find its use in homes, rural health care, ambulances, providing rapid yet reliable CBC testing.
