Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for testing a function and a drug response of a platelet based on a microfluidic chip. The apparatus for test comprises a measuring device containing a blood sample and measuring aggregation and adhesion of a platelet generated by flow of the blood sample; and a fluid driving device which is connected to the measuring device and generates a oscillating shear flow of the blood sample. Therefore, activation of factors such as a platelet and von Willebrand factor (vWF) etc. can be activated uniformly and completely, and a repeatability of the platelet aggregation can be increased.
