Abstract

This paper reports on a point-of-care (POC) microfluidic device for separation and extraction of blood plasma from whole blood samples. Designed to be accessible for any kind of setting, the device works by utilizing sequential capillary draining to extract blood plasma through a membrane when a working fluid is introduced in the manifold inlet. Utilizing a combination of a simple membrane and geometrical design without an external power source, this self-driven capillary device can obtain approximately 50% of the original volume of whole blood, suggesting a complete extraction readily available for integration with a POC detection and a 99.9% filtration of red and white blood cells without rupturing due to capillary-based filtration. © 2023 IEEJ.
