PREPARATION OF PLASMA BY FILTRATION FOR ANALYSIS

THERE IS A GREAT NEED TO DEVELOP NEW TECHNIQUES FOR PREPARING BLOOD SAMPLES. IN CLINICAL LABORATORIES, PREPARING PLASMA FOR ANALYSIS REQUIRES FEW SKILLS AND IS ONEOF THE DIRTIEST AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TASKS A TECHNICIANFACES. BECAUSE CENTRIFUGATION IS A PART OF THE PROBLEM, THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO DEVISE A SYSTEM FOR PREPARING PLASMA BY FILTRATION. THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL PROCESS BLOOD 10 TIMES FASTER THAN CONVENTIONAL PROCEDURES. FURTHERMORE, THE PROPOSED TECHNIQUE CAN BE AUTOMATED TO DISPENSE ALIQUOTS OF PLASMA INTO SEPARATE TEST TUBES FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS. THE DEVICE WILL ELIMINATE THE DIRT AND DANGER OF PROCESSING BLOOD, DECREASE THE TIME FOR PREPARING SAMPLES, AND ELIMINATE THE NUMBER OF SKILLED TECHNICIANS NEEDED TO PROCESS BLOOD SAMPLES.
