Resumo: | The increasing interest to establish significant correlations between blood cell mechanical measurements and blood diseases, has led to the promotion of microfluidic devices as attractive clinical tools for potential use in diagnosis. A multi-step microfluidic device able to separate red and white blood cells (RBCs and WBCs) from plasma and simultaneously measure blood cells deformability (5 and 20% of hematocrit) is presented in this paper. The device employs passive separation based on the cross-flow filtration principle, introduced at each daughter channel. At the outlets, hyperbolic geometries allow single-cell deformability analysis. The device was tested with blood from five healthy and fifteen diabetic type II voluntary donors. The results have shown that WBCs have lower deformability than RBCs, and no significant differences were observed in WBCs from healthy and pathological blood samples. In contrast, RBCs have shown significant differences, with pathological cells exhibiting lower deformability. Shear rheology has shown that blood from patients with type II diabetes has higher viscosity than blood from healthy donors. This microfluidic device has demonstrated the ability to reduce cell concentration at the outlets down to 1%, an ideal cell concentration for assessing the blood cells deformability, under healthy and pathological conditions. The results provide new insights and quantitative information about the hemodynamics of in vitro type II diabetes mellitus RBCs. Thus, such device can be a promising complement in clinical diagnosis and biological research as part of an integrated blood-on-a-chip system. |
