Pixcell has developed a unique disposable cartridge to implement its cell detection and analysis technology.
The cartridge includes reagent storage compartments, mixing chambers, and a microfluidic chip which serves as a reactor and analysis chamber.
Viscoelastic cell focusing takes place in the microfluidic chip in which the cells are counted and differentiated.
Despite its complex functionality, the disposable cartridge is relatively simple to manufacture using standard fabrication methods and hence inexpensive.
