    摘要: Methods and devices for efficient separation of plasma from whole blood which are suitable for point of care use in resource poor environments. Elements of such devices comprise (a) a sample collection receptacle (SCR) with at least one port, the sample collection receptacle capable of holding a predetermined volume of a sample of undiluted whole blood drawn through a port: (b) a filter chamber having an inlet and an outlet, and containing at least one filler capable of separating plasma from blood cells as sample passes from an inlet side to an outlet side of the at least one filter whenever the filter chamber is placed in fluid communication with a port of the sample collection receptacle; and (c) a manually driven pump operationally associated with the SCR and filter chamber.
