  3. Introduce The need for pure blood plasma is of interest in diagnostic applications and in blood banking e.g. plasmapheresis. Blood plasma is usually generated by centrifugation or filtration. Plasmapheresis as realized by centrifugation in blood bank processes has hitherto not been addressed by μTAS solutions as throughput is a major issue. This paper describes a method of extracting pure blood plasma from whole blood based on previously reported ultrasonic standing wave separation technique , offering a potential of up-scaling throughput to clinically relevant levels. Figure A single plasmapheresis chip actuated by a piezoceramic from the backside.

  4. Theory An acoustic standing wave is commonly described according to eqn. (1). (1) If the acoustic field is in the form of a standing wave, eqn. (1) can be rewritten in terms of pressure eqn. (2). (2) p = p0 ·sin(kx)· cos(wt) According to the acoustic force theory presented by Yosioka and Kawasima the force on a particle can be expressed in the following way eqn.(3). (3) (4) Vc is the volume of the particle, p0 is the pressure amplitude from eqn. (2) and φ is defined by eqn. (4). The density of the medium and particles are denoted ρw and ρc respectively and the corresponding compressibilities βw and βc.

  9. Result Figure . Sequential plasma extraction from whole blood. The plasma fraction from the first step is the input to the second step and so on. Figure . The eight channel separator. The top view to the right shows a channel segment with ultrasound turned off. The lower right view shows the acoustically controlled plasma extraction. White lines have been added to outline the separator channels.

  10. Result Figure . The diagram shows the removal efficiency of erythrocytes vs hematocrit (HCT) level. The HCT after each extraction step is followed by the step function. The process starts with whole blood of 40 % and end up with a plasma fraction containing less than 1 % erythrocytes.
