Red blood cell motions in high-hematocrit blood flowing through a stenosed micr...

We investigated the behaviour of red blood cells (RBCs) in a micro-channel with stenosis by using a confocal micro-PIV system. We could successfully measure individual trajectories of RBCs in a concentrated suspension up to 20% hematocrit (Hct). The results show that the trajectories of healthy RBCs become asymmetric before and after the stenosis, though trajectories of tracer particles in pure water are almost...

Axisymmetric PDMS (polydimethysiloxane) microchannels for in vitro haemodynami...

The current microdevices used for biomedical research are often manufactured using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. Although it is possible to fabricate precise and reproducible rectangular microchannels using soft lithography techniques, this kind of geometry may not reflect the actual physiology of the microcirculation. Here, we present a simple method to fabricate circular PDMS microchannels...

Observation of blood flow in microchannel with stenosis by confocal micro-PIV

Blood flow in microchannel with stenosis measured by a confocal micro PTV system

Blood in microcircualtion is not a homogenous fluid but the suspension of Red Blood Cells(RBC). So individual RBCs behavior is essential to get good comprehension about the blood flow in microcirculation. In this study we observe the RBCs behavior through the stenosis by using confocal-micro- PTV system. And we can observe the difference of the cell free layer thickness according to Hct.
