      Hi,
      The device I built helps me tests peoples blood and tells me if they are more likely to have a blood clot than another person. The things I use in the device are really really tiny. I put the blood on a device called a cantilever, which moves up and down like a diving board in the swimming pool. Depending on how your blood moves when I shake this cantilevers tells me if you can possibly have a blood clot or not!
