On‐Chip Evaluation of Red Blood Cell Deformability Through Transit Velocity Index in Hematological Diseases [PDF]

Small, Volume 22, Issue 33, 12 June 2026.
The deformability of red blood cell is essential for smooth microcirculation. We propose a deformability index using a microfluidic platform with capillary‐like constrictions, based on the relationship between cell deformation and transit velocity through the constrictions. Its effectiveness and clinical potential have been demonstrated in applications
