Fig 5. Sample processing time for our miniaturized centrifugal platform versus traditional methods.

Fig 5

(A) Comparison of protocol times for our miniaturized centrifugal platform and their corresponding traditional methods, in minutes. In both methodologies, buffy coat separation and modified Wright-Giemsa stain, the miniaturized centrifugal protocols were significantly shorter. (B) Modified Wright-Giemsa stained blood cells. Clockwise from bottom left: enriched cell FOV, basophil, neutrophil, monocyte, lymphocyte, and Rouleaux formation. All images were taken from section E with the exception of the Rouleaux formation which was taken from section B. Images were captured using a Nikon TI 40X DIC and auto white balanced using the NIS Elements AR 4.12.01 software.
