On the use of polymeric additives to promote plasma separation from whole blood in open microchannels

Lee E., Berthier J., Laurent P., Navarro F., Cubizolles M., CEA, FR

Polymers additives in whole blood are known to modify blood physical properties. For example, Dextran molecules usually accelerate the aggregation of re-suspended RBCs in Ringer solutions. In this work, we first investigate the effect of [...]

Determination of the bi-substrate kinetic coefficients for the beta-D-glucose- NAD-GDH enzymatic reaction

Berthier J., Cubizolles M., Laurent P., Pouteau P., Poher V., Cosnier M.L., CEA, FR

Colorimetric detection of glucose in sample liquids such as human plasma is made by using enzymatic reactions. In the multi reactional scheme, the first enzymatic reaction is determinant. Either glucose oxidase (GOX) or glucose dehydrogenase [...]
