A client who created a new technology to measure CD4 cell count in whole blood for HIV treatment in the developing world was looking for a microfluidic cartridge solution.  Wainamics achieved uniform capillary force driven flow and passive reagent mixing through surface modification, formulation adjustments and use of specialty porous materials in a cost-effective microfluidic cartridge. Design was then transferred to high volume manufacturing using injection molding.
