  • Title: Cost-effective and rapid blood analysis on a cell-phone.
    Author: Zhu H, Sencan I, Wong J, Dimitrov S, Tseng D, Nagashima K, Ozcan A.
    Journal: Lab Chip; 2013 Apr 07; 13(7):1282-8. PubMed ID: 23392286.
    Abstract:
    We demonstrate a compact and cost-effective imaging cytometry platform installed on a cell-phone for the measurement of the density of red and white blood cells as well as hemoglobin concentration in human blood samples. Fluorescent and bright-field images of blood samples are captured using separate optical attachments to the cell-phone and are rapidly processed through a custom-developed smart application running on the phone for counting of blood cells and determining hemoglobin density. We evaluated the performance of this cell-phone based blood analysis platform using anonymous human blood samples and achieved comparable results to a standard bench-top hematology analyser. Test results can either be stored on the cell-phone memory or be transmitted to a central server, providing remote diagnosis opportunities even in field settings.
