Fluorescent microspheres are at the forefront of biosensing technologies. They can be used for a wide range of biomedical applications. They consist of organic dyes and polymers, which are relatively immune to photobleaching and other environmental factors.

It is greatly influenced by the shape and deformability of RBCs, which can be affected by oxidative stress induced by different drugs and diseases leading to anemia. Here we investigated how in vitro microfluidic characterization of RBCs transit velocity in microcapillaries can indicate cells damage and its correlation with clinical hematological analysis.
