Multiplexed fluidic plunger mechanism for the measurement of red blood cell deformability
Red blood cell (RBC) deformability plays an important role in the pathology of various diseases, including malaria, hemoglobinopathies, and micronutrient deficiencies. Specifically, in malaria, the analysis of RBC deformability presents new approaches for detecting infections and for rapidly evaluat...
