The document proposes an automated blood sample deployment and retraction device for acoustic rheometry. It discusses current solutions for blood coagulation analysis and their limitations. The proposed device aims to automatically deploy a 0.03 mL blood sample into an acoustic levitation field with minimal contamination or handling. Design requirements include accurately dispensing the target volume, minimizing acoustic invasiveness, and automating the sample deployment process. Several design concepts and a preliminary design are presented and evaluated. A final design is selected consisting of a syringe-based deployment system and a rack-and-pinion driven entry/exit system. Testing shows the design can deploy volumes within the target range.
