Microfluidic Device for Continuous Magnetophoretic Separation of Red Blood Cells [PDF]
This paper presents a microfluidic device for magnetophoretic separation red blood cells from blood under contionous flow. The separation method consist of continous flow of a blood sample (diluted in PBS) through a microfluidic channel which presents on the bottom "dots" of feromagnetic layer.

Increasing power and robustness in screening trials by testing stored specimens in the control arm [PDF]
Background: Screening trials require large sample sizes and long time-horizons to demonstrate mortality reductions. We recently proposed increasing statistical power by testing stored control-arm specimens, called the Intended Effect (IE) design. To evaluate feasibility of the IE design, the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) is collecting blood ...

A study of volatile compounds in the breath of children with type 1 diabetes [PDF]
A pilot study of exhaled volatile compounds and their correlation with blood glucose levels in eight children with type 1 diabetes is reported. Five paired blood and breath samples were obtained from each child over a 6 hour period. The blood glucose concentration ranged from 41.4 to 435.6 mg/dL.

A new formulation for the collection and delivery problem of biomedical specimen [PDF]
We study the collection and delivery problem of biomedical specimens (CDSP) with multiple trips, time windows, a homogeneous fleet, and the objective of minimizing total completion time of delivery requests. This is a prominent problem in healthcare logistics, where specimens (blood, plasma, urin etc.) collected from patients in doctor's offices and ...
