Microfluidic system for coagulation tests or agglutination tests

摘要

The invention relates to a microfluidic system comprising a microfluidic device (1) having a first and a second opposite surfaces and an optical detector (3a,3b), a flow channel with a detection channel section having a length of at least about 1 mm, at least one aperture section (2) comprising said detection channel section and a transparent window into said detection channel section. The optical detector (3a,3b) is in optical communication with said aperture section (2) for determining an optical property of said aperture section as a function of time. The flow channel may have capillary dimensions and/or it may wholly or fully be arranged to drive a fluid flow by applying external forces. The microfluid device (1) is used for performing coagulation tests or agglutination tests.
