Description

Clinically applicable and scalable device for blood coagulation assessment providing clear results in 5 minutes using a disposable microfluidic cartridge to replicate arterial blood flow conditions and measure how quickly a platelet-rich thrombus forms.

The Achievable Results

Develop and validate a die-cast four-channel cartridge. Improve usability of the device. Increase the technological readiness level (TRL) of CLOTcheck from TRL 4 to TRL 5 towards clinically relevant application.

The Anticipated Benefit

Faster and physiologically more accurate assessment of blood coagulation could help make better decisions regarding thrombosis and bleeding risks, ensure more personalized treatment, and foster stronger point-of-care diagnostics development.

The Allocated Funding

190,000 EUR on 03/01/2026.
