Electronic blood sedimentation monitoring with microcontroller and linear CCD sensor

Penič, Samo (author), Iglič, Aleš (author), Kralj-Iglič, Veronika (author)

Modern electronics can be utilized to provide automated means of monitoring spontaneous blood sedimentation and by implementing wireless power and data transfer can be used in centrifugation systems as well. Here, we present the method of building the optical linear charge coupled device (CCD) sensor with microcontroller circuit for recording and monitoring the sedimentation process. Brief overview of the engineering behind the communication protocol is given together with key microcontroller techniques that are required for fast analogue voltage signal sampling. Proposed system has adaptable light integration protocol and shows exceptional durability under centrifugal force loads that are commonly used in platelet-rich plasma. The parts for building the system are sourced at common electronics stores and provides easy means for observing optical changes in blood samples with emphasis on sedimentation and forming layers with different optical properties.
