Development of a Micro-Particle Image Velocimetry Platform to Study Thrombosis In Vitro

by Tice Ryan Harkins

Micro-particle image velocimetry (uPIV) provides the ability to quantitatively measure microflow alongside thrombus development. Using a uPIV platform, we aim to capture the real time in vitro formation of a thrombus and better understand the micro-scale factors related to thrombus growth. PDMS channels provide the ability to create changes is flow geometry that serve as a nidus of thrombus formation.
