A functional assay for RBC adhesion in SCD (A) The SCD-Biochip allows serial examination of RBC adhesion and deformability to endothelium-associated proteins and provides closed, preprocessing-free, and direct analysis of blood. (B) Identification of different phenotypes in SCD-Biochip based on adhesion of RBCs (per unit area of 32 mm2) to fibronectin immobilized microchannels.
