Offering portable blood plamsa separation in less than two minutes, Hermes Life Sciences personnel have developed the HERMES system described as the first assay agnostic blood-plasma separation platfrom from CLIA-wiaved testing faciities. HERMES - The High Efficiency Rapid Magnetic Erythrocyte Separator (HERMES) is a novel method to perform low cost blood-plasma separation at the point-of-need. With the help of functionalized magnetic microbeads that capture red blood cells, HERMES separates plasma from blood within two minutes. It does not require the use of a centrifuge or any specialized lab equipment and is particularly suited for advancing the usability of lateral flow diagnostics, which have a high potential for application at the point-of-need.
