Abstract
A microfluidic device and method is provided for determining a cell concentration in a sample. The microfluidic device includes a body having a channel therethough that extends along an axis. The channel includes an input and an output, and is at least partially defined by a surface. Indicia overlaps the surface. The channel has a predetermined volume. A portion of the sample is provided in the channel and the cells in the predetermined portions of the channel defined by the indicia are counted.
