Red Blood Cells in Motion: Flex or Fail
INNOVATIONS FOR TESTING RED BLOOD CELL DEFORMABILITY
Our Innovations
The fTT Biomarker
The fTT biomarker is a deformability marker; it provides the fraction of deformable red blood cells in a heterogeneous population.
the technology
Video imaging of individual red blood cell motion in shear flow.
Key applications
The individual deformability of red blood cells plays a key role in ensuring their smooth transport and survival in the bloodstream. Pathological alterations in the deformability of red blood cells are associated with many hereditary, chronic, infectious and vascular diseases.
Our solution provides a real-time biomarker for:
- Emergency scenarios where swift and effective clinical decisions are crucial
- Point-of-care monitoring for chronic disease management
