BUsmear: A Low-Cost 3D-Printed Automated Device for Blood Smear Preparation
Uniform, reproducible blood smears are critical for reliable hematological evaluation. Manual smear preparation, however, is user-dependent and introduces variability that limits quantitative microscopy. Here we developed BUsmear, a low-cost, 3D-printed, motorized blood smear device that prepares two smears simultaneously from a printed stage and a micro-motor drive with tunable linear velocity,…
