US Patent:

20140020457, Jan 23, 2014
Filed:

Jul 18, 2013
Appl. No.:

13/945147
Inventors:

SAMARTHA ANEKAL - PALO ALTO CA, US
ELIZABETH A. HOLMES - PALO ALTO CA, US
Assignee:

THERANOS, INC. - PALO ALTO CA
International Classification:

G01N 15/05
US Classification:

73 6168
Abstract:

Devices and methods are described for measuring formed blood component sedimentation rate. Some of the methods may use (1) centrifugal techniques for separating red blood cells from plasma and (2) video and/or still imaging capability. Both may be used alone or in combination to accelerate formed blood component sedimentation and to measure its rate. In one example, the method may advantageously enable rapid measurement of sedimentation rate using small blood sample volumes. Automated image analysis can be used to determine both sedimentation rate and hematocrit. Automated techniques may be used to compensate for effects of hematocrit on uncorrected sedimentation rate data.
