  • Portal and method for management of dialysis therapy
    Patent number: 9518914
    Abstract: System and method for point-of-care monitoring of neutrophils in a peritoneal dialysis sample with the use of a microfluidic system. The immunoassay based chip is configured to bound neutrophils to a microfluidic channel surface while leaving auxiliary cells and particles unattached and suspended in the sample and flushable with a wash buffer. Data representing images of neutrophils, formed by an (optionally lensless) imaging system, are processed to determine a count of neutrophils based on statistical parameters including characteristics of the microfluidic channel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 24, 2013
