This paper reports a simple and disposable polymer microwells chip to investigate single cell level of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) in parallel analysis with fast imaging. This method is based on the image processing method and microfluidic device that has microwells for single cell trapping. The RBCs are trapped in the microwells just by gravity. After trapping the cells, the image processing program automatically count captured cells by microscopic image of the device. The final goal of this research is applied to the detection of early stage of malaria infection as well as study of malaria disease.
