Neonatal jaundice is a common condition that can lead to severe hyperbilirubinemia and kernicterus if not treated promptly. Comprehensive determination of hyperbilirubinemia risk requires testing for multiple analytes, including total serum bilirubin (TSB), albumin and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), which currently are performed separately. This poster describe a rapid, near patient comprehensive testing panel to determine hyperbilirubinemia risk from < 50 µL of whole blood using a benchtop digital microfluidic platform.
