Abstract:
We have investigated the effect of flow rate on shear stress and in turn thrombus formation on a lab-on-a-chip with a microchannel that is suitable for cell culture and growth. Using a combination of Arduino UNO, Arduino Motor Shield, and a SERVO stepper motor, we created a pump system that closely mimics the in vivo conditions of the human body. With this system, we achieved continuous flow of blood and observed attached platelets at the bottom of the collagen coated microslide, confirming that with shear stress, thrombus formation increases.

Shear Diagram
First, a free-body diagram of the beam is drawn, representing all the external forces and internal reactions acting on the beam. One can calculate the reaction forces at each support by employing the equilibrium equations of force and moment. The vertical component...
