More Information
Summary:The present invention provides a microfluidic device (10) for full blood count. The microfluidic device (10) comprises a first measurement channel (11) and a second measurement channel (12) separated from the first measurement channel (11). The microfluidic device (10) furthermore comprises a first inlet (13) for providing a whole blood sample to the first and second measurement channel (11, 12), a second inlet (14) for providing a lysis agent for white blood cell count in to the first channel (11), a third inlet (15) for providing a quench solution to the first channel (11), and a fourth inlet (16) for providing a lysis agent for hemoglobin measurement to the second channel (12). The present invention also provides a method for forming such a microfluidic device (10) and a method for performing a full blood count test using such a microfluidic device (10).
