Microfluidic characterisation reveals broad range of SARS-CoV-2 antibody affinity in human plasma

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli

The clinical outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infections, which can range from asymptomatic to lethal, is crucially shaped by the concentration of antiviral antibodies and by their affinity to their targets. However, the affinity of polyclonal antibody responses in p ...

Quantification of stored red blood cell fluctuations by time-lapse holographic cell imaging

Pierre Marquet, Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Michel Prudent, Manon Sandra Bardyn

We propose methods to quantitatively calculate the fluctuation rate of red blood cells with nanometric axial and millisecond temporal sensitivity at the single-cell level by using time-lapse holographic cell imaging. For this quantitative analysis, cell me ...

Red blood cells ageing markers: a multi-parametric analysis

Gerardo Turcatti, Niels Erik Lion, Benjamin Rappaz, Michel Prudent, Manon Sandra Bardyn

Background. Red blood cells collected in citrate-phosphate-dextrose can be stored for up to 42 days at 4 degrees C in saline-adenine-glucose-mannitol additive solution. During this controlled, but nevertheless artificial, ex vivo ageing, red blood cells ac ...

The antioxidant capacity of erythrocyte concentrates is increased during the first week of storage and correlated with the uric acid level

Hubert Girault, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Niels Erik Lion, Michel Prudent, Sunny Isaïe Maye, Manon Sandra Bardyn

Background and Objectives: Red blood cells (RBCs) suffer from lesions during cold storage, depending in part on their ability to counterbalance oxidative stress by activating their antioxidant defence. The aim of this study was to monitor the antioxidant p ...

Large scale inkjet-printing of carbon nanotubes electrodes for antioxidant assays in blood bags

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Niels Erik Lion, Michel Prudent

Herein, we present the large scale fabrication of carbon nanotubes (CNT) electrodes supported on flexible polymeric sheets by subsequent multilayer inkjet printing of a silver layer for electrical connection, CNT layers as active electrode material and an ...

Flow simulation and hemolysis modeling for a blood centrifuge device

Mark Sawley, Michel Deville, Patric Hagmann

A common blood separation technique is to accelerate the sedimentation of blood constituents by centrifugation and then collect these constituents separately. When subjected to conditions of excessive stress, hemolysis can however occur, whereby the membra ...

Automated quantitative analysis of 3D morphology and mean corpuscular hemoglobin in human red blood cells stored in different periods

Pierre Marquet, Daniel Boss

Quantitative phase (QP) images of red blood cells (RBCs), which are obtained by off-axis digital holographic microscopy, can provide quantitative information about three-dimensional (3D) morphology of human RBCs and the characteristic properties such as me ...

Automated segmentation of multiple red blood cells with digital holographic microscopy

Pierre Marquet, Daniel Boss

We present a method to automatically segment red blood cells (RBCs) visualized by digital holographic microscopy (DHM), which is based on the marker-controlled watershed algorithm. Quantitative phase images of RBCs can be obtained by using off-axis DHM alo ...

Separation of platelets from other blood cells in continuous-flow by dielectrophoresis field-flow-fractionation

Philippe Renaud, Niccolo Piacentini

We present a microfluidic device capable of separating platelets from other blood cells in continuous flow using dielectrophoresis field-flow-fractionation. The use of hydrodynamic focusing in combination with the application of a dielectrophoretic force a ...

Comparative study of human erythrocytes by digital holographic microscopy, confocal microscopy, and impedance volume analyzer

Pierre Magistretti, Pierre Marquet, Christian Depeursinge, Benjamin Rappaz

Red blood cell (RBC) parameters such as morphology, volume, refractive index, and hemoglobin content are of great importance for diagnostic purposes. Existing approaches require complicated calibration procedures and robust cell perturbation. As a result, ...
