Lecture description
We present an acoustofluidic microfluidic cartridge for rapid plasma separation from
whole blood, enabling inline, imaging-based optical assessment of plasma parameters.
Device performance was validated by quantifying free hemoglobin to evaluate
hemolysis.
Hemolyzed samples are a frequent source of preanalytical error in laboratory and pointof-
care settings, particularly affecting whole blood potassium (K⁺) measurements on
blood gas analyzers.
Our approach minimizes hemolysis-related errors, offering a fast, reliable method for
plasma preparation compatible with downstream analytical workflows [1].
