These CD devices can be used as portable point-of-care (POC) platforms with sample-to-answer capabilities where bodily fluids such as whole blood can be used as samples directly without pre-processing. In order to use whole blood as a sample on CDs, centrifugation is used to separate red blood cells from plasma on CDs. There are several techniques for using specific fluidic patterns in the centrifugal fluidic network, such as reciprocation, that enhances the sensitivity of the immunoassays, including those using microarray antigen membranes. Present work demonstrates, for the first time, simultaneous integration of blood plasma separation (BPS) and reciprocation on the CD platform. The integrated design allows plasma that is separated from the red blood cells in a sedimentation chamber to flow into the reciprocation chamber via a narrow connecting channel of 0.5 mm \u00d7 0.5 mm cross-section. Due to the small cross-section of the connecting channel, there is no inflow of the red blood cell into the reciprocation chamber during subsequent fluidic operations of the CD. While no inflow of the red blood cells into the reciprocation chamber was observed, the conditions of 20 g jerk acceleration were also simulated in ANSYS finite element analysis software, and it was found that the CD design that was used is capable of retaining red blood cells in the sedimentation chamber. Experimentally, the isolation of red blood cells in the sedimentation chamber was confirmed using the ImageJ image processor to detect the visible color-based separation of the plasma from the blood. A fluorescent analyte testing on the bio-sensing array of the presented novel integrated design and on the standard reciprocation design CD was conducted for 7 min of reciprocation in each case. The test analyte was Europium Streptavidin Polystyrene analyte (10\u22123 mg\/mL) and the microarray consisted of Biotin bovine serum albumin (BSA) dots. The fluorescent signals for the standard and integrated designs were nearly identical (within the margin of error) for the first several minutes of reciprocation, but the fluorescent signal for the integrated design was significantly higher when the reciprocation time was increased to 7 min.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23031710","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,6]],"date-time":"2023-02-06T02:06:43Z","timestamp":1675649203000},"page":"1710","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Integrating Bio-Sensing Array with Blood Plasma Separation on a Centrifugal Platform"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8137-9996","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Snehan","family":"Peshin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4847-3117","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marc","family":"Madou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"},{"name":"School of Engineering and Science, Tecnol\u00f3gico de Monterrey, Monterrey 64849, Mexico"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1176-3578","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lawrence","family":"Kulinsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1701","DOI":"10.4155\/bio.10.140","article-title":"Large-Volume Centrifugal Microfluidic Device for Blood Plasma Separation","volume":"2","author":"Amasia","year":"2010","journal-title":"Bioanalysis"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"064303","DOI":"10.1063\/1.3597578","article-title":"A Multiplexed Immunoassay System Based upon Reciprocating Centrifugal Microfluidics","volume":"82","author":"Noroozi","year":"2011","journal-title":"Rev.
