Microfluidic flow chambers using reconstituted blood to model hemostasis and platelet transfusion in vitro [PDF]
, 2016 Blood platelets prepared for transfusion gradually lose hemostatic function during storage. Platelet function can be investigated using a variety of (indirect) in vitro experiments, but none of these is as comprehensive as microfluidic flow chambers.
