Photographs of the measurement platform (a) and measurement procedure (b-d). (b) The operator loads an empty sample cell within the device's loading mechanism, (c) a lysed blood sample (150 μl) is pipetted into the sample cell, (d) the sample cell is placed within the magnet using the sample loading mechanism. Once the loading procedure is complete an automated measurement routine can be initiated via the dedicated control software. Typical data output is shown in (e), recorded from a 32,500 parasites/μl sample and clearly showing an intensity change; regions of maximum signal coincide with an applied magnetic field while regions of minimum signal are recorded with no applied field.
