Abstract
To step up the diagnosis of malaria in remote areas of the Amazon in Peru, our group has started to develop low-cost inertial microfluidic devices, fabricated using standard 3D printers. Initial results show a 1-step separation of 7 and 10 μm beads at a 40% and 84% separation rate, while red blood cells were separated at 40%. Our goal is to perform multi-step separation of patients' blood, followed by diagnosis using an impedance analyser to detect Plasmodium infected red blood cells which can be utilised in remote clinics.
