Whole blood coagulation testing provides valuable diagnostic information on diseases such as bleeding disorders, heart attack, deep venous thrombosis, etc. On page 3926, J. Fu and co-workers develop a miniaturized hemoretractometer to measure clot contraction upon blood coagulation with good reproducibility and robustness. This device design shows great application potential in point-of-care testing. Photo credit: David Peyer from University of Michigan.
全血凝血检测为出血性疾病、心脏病发作、深静脉血栓形成等疾病提供了有价值的诊断信息。在第 3926 页,Fu 及其同事开发了一种微型血液收缩测量仪,用于测量血液凝固时的血块收缩,具有良好的重现性和稳健性。该设备设计在即时检测方面具有很大的应用潜力。图片来源:密歇根大学的 David Peyer。
