Sarah Du of FAU has filed a patent application for a device that will allow users to test for sickle-cell and other blood-related diseases at home. The instrument uses very small amounts of blood on a microchip to run tests.
“Making microfluidic portable devices that allow patients and health-care providers to have an easier solution to diagnosing diseases is a major part of my work and my passion, I know these devices have the potential to advance the way we treat patients,” Du said.
