Correcting the effect of hematocrit in whole blood coagulation analysis on paper-based lateral flow device

摘要

A simple method to correct the effect of hematocrit (Hct) on a paper-based lateral flow assay device that is designed to assess whole blood coagulation is reported. By quantifying the effect of Hct on red blood cell (RBC) transport, a calibration procedure is obtained that compensates for the Hct effect, while maintaining the dependence of blood coagulation on RBC transport.
