Red Blood Cells in Motion: Flex or Fail
INNOVATIONS FOR TESTING RED BLOOD CELLS DEFORMABILITY
Our innovation: the fTT biomarker
The fTT biomarker is a deformability marker; it provides the fraction of deformable red blood cells in a heterogeneous population.
Key applications
The individual deformability of red blood cells plays a key role in regulating their function and survival in the bloodstream. Pathological alterations in the deformability of red blood cells are associated with many hereditary, chronic, infectious and vascular diseases.
