Welcome, everyone! Today, we're going to explore the fascinating world of CBC machines! As a biomedical engineer, I'm excited to share my knowledge with you and delve into the details of this crucial medical equipment. First, let's start with the basics. A CBC machine, also known as a hematology analyzer, is a medical device that analyzes whole blood specimens and provides valuable insights for diagnosis and treatment. But, to truly understand this machine, we need to go beyond its basic function. To master any machine, you need to know its use, operation, and service and maintenance requirements. in our discussions,We'll explore the types of CBC machines, including 3diff and 5diff analyzers, which differ in their ability to classify white blood cells. #3Diff #5Diff #WhiteBloodCells The 3diff analyzer differentiates between three types of WBC (neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes), while the 5diff analyzer identifies all five types, including basophils and eosinophils. Each type uses different technologies, with 3diff relying on impedance methods and 5diff utilizing cytometry to differentiate WBC based on granularity and cell size. We'll also discuss the operation of CBC machines, including how they perform quantitative analysis of blood elements like red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), and platelets. #BloodAnalysis We'll explore the advantages of fully automated systems, which can perform up to 60 tests per hour, and highlight some notable brands like @elektrogenesis Mindray BC6800PLUS and Sysmex America, Inc. XN-Series. #AutomatedSystems #MedicalDeviceBrands Finally, we'll touch on the importance of service and maintenance requirements to ensure accurate results and extend the lifespan of these machines. #MedicalDeviceService #MaintenanceRequirements Stay tuned for more posts, where we'll dive deeper into the operation and principle of operation of these machines! #MoreToCome #CBCMachines #HematologyAnalyzers

Contractile performance is an essential function of the human heart. 2-D cardiomyocyte cultures are inadequate for assessing contractility as they cannot perform physiological contractions on rigid plasticware. Novoheart’s human ventricular Cardiac Tissue Strip (hvCTS) offers a superior contractility assay. This assay consists of aligned hvCM in a 3-D hydrogel mixture that is constructed using a custom-designed cartridge with integrated force-sensing posts at the ends. This model has been validated as a sensitive and reliable predictor of clinical drug responses or pathologic effects on cardiac contractility. The CTScreen is Novoheart’s all-in-one screening system for comprehensive cardiac tissue contractility studies. Our unique system enables programmable force measurement protocols, including automated perfusion, electrical stimulation, data acquisition and streamlined data analysis. Customizable cartridges have been designed for the CTScreen to allow multiple tissues to be fabricated and cultured on each cartridge at the same time. All cartridges are compatible with Novoheart’s commercial CTScreen platform. #CTScreen #drugdiscovery #drugscreening #cardiac #3dcellculture #biotech #bioengineering

Human red blood cells (RBCs) are highly studied by researchers and clinicians alike because RBCs play an essential role in medical diagnostics. RBCs are the most abundant component of whole blood. The accurate analysis of blood samples for blood cells is crucial to help diagnose and management of several life-threatening diseases. Current techniques for analyzing blood cell counts are time-consuming and expensive, requiring a highly trained technician. Implementing a portable, label-free method enables analysis at small clinics and remote locations with reduced times of analysis and cost. The development of miniature, handheld shear-horizontal surface acoustic wave (SH-SAW) biosensors capable of accurately counting RBCs in liquid samples will improve medical diagnostics in resource-limited regions of the United States and parts of the world where access to centralized clinical laboratories is limited. by Marlon Thomas #biosensor #rbc #microfluidic #acoustics #antibodies https://lnkd.in/gsRB73Da
