A Simple Point Of Care White Blood Cell Count Test

描述(申请者提供)：指甲白血的研制 提出了一种使用一次性试纸进行细胞(WBC)检测的方法。方法 将使用便宜的手掌大小在几分钟内估计WBC计数 反射计。用手工组装的原型获得的初步数据 论证了所提出方法的潜力。简单的看护点(PoC) WBC的方法可以为接受化疗的癌症患者提供 艾滋病患者接受多西环素治疗，这是一种高度便携的白细胞治疗方法 监控。我们建议开发一种简单的设备，用于整体分析WBC 并将与商业细胞计数仪器一样准确。 建议的商业应用：不可用

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Development of a fingerstick White Blood Cell (WBC) assay method using disposable test strips is proposed. The method will estimate the WBC count in minutes using an inexpensive palm size reflectometer. Preliminary data obtained with hand-assembled prototypes has demonstrated the potential of the proposed method. A simple point-of-care (POC) method for WBC can provide cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, as well as AIDS patients undergoing Doxil therapy, a highly portable means for WBC monitoring. We propose developing a simple device that will assay WBC in whole blood and will be as accurate as commercial cell counting instruments. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: NOT AVAILABLE
