The ability of red blood cells (RBC) to change their shape under varying conditions is a crucial property allowing these cells to go through capillaries narrower than their own diameter. Ektacytometry is a technique for measuring deformability by exposing a highly diluted blood sample to shear stress and evaluating the resulting elongation in RBC shape using a laser diffraction pattern. This work contributes to the design and evaluation of a new diagnostic technique based on osmotic scan ektacytometry, using a microfluidic method. It allows the measurement of deformability of an RBC population, as a function of varying medium osmolality. This measurement makes possible a differential diagnosis for any one of a number of RBC disorders presen...
