Acoustic tweezing spectroscopy is a novel noncontact technique to measure viscosity and elasticity using single drop of fluid sample.
Abstract Background Monitoring the blood coagulation status of patients with coagulopathy or on anticoagulant therapy is important for informed treatment decisions. Quasi-static acoustic tweezing thromboelastometry (QATT) can monitor changes in using a small drop. Here, we develop heparinase and functional fibrinogen QATT assays. Methods Citrated whole (WB) samples were collected from 20 healthy volunteers IRB-approved protocols No. 520566 944474. Half used fibrinogen, platelet count tests...
Acoustic tweezing rheometry is an innovative technology for low-volume non-contact rheological analysis of complex fluids characterized by increased sensitivity and accuracy as compared to traditional contact techniques. In this method, a small drop fluid sample levitated in air acoustic radiation forces its viscoelasticity at different time instants measured from shape changes. The rheometer operates two modes: quasi-static oscillatory. This presentation focuses on the oscillatory technique...
