TABLE II.
Inlet samples and operational parameters of straight microfluidic channel devices in platelet or plasma extractions from whole blood and platelet concentration of platelet-rich plasma.
Inlet sample | Inlet flow rate (μl/min) | Collect flow rate (μl/min) | Volume ratio (collect:discard) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Platelet extraction | Whole blood | 80 | 5.3 | 1:14 |
Plasma extraction | Whole blood | 80 | 4.7 | 1:16 |
Platelet concentration | Platelet-rich plasma | 120 | 15 | 1:7 |
