Claim:
1. A microfluidic device, comprising: a first end and a second end; a top surface and a bottom surface; at least one microfluidic channel having an upper surface and a lower surface enclosed between the top surface and the bottom surface of the microfluidic device, and extending from said first end of the microfluidic device to said second end of the microfluidic device, wherein the at least one microfluidic channel connects a first opening at said first end of the microfluidic device and a second opening at said second end of the microfluidic device, and wherein the first opening, the second opening and the at least one microfluidic channel are in the same plane, and wherein the plane is parallel to the top surface and the bottom surface of the microfluidic device; and at least one substrate surface provided in the at least one microfluidic channel, wherein the at least one substrate surface comprises a plurality of lipid coated particles immobilized on the substrate surface, wherein the plurality of lipid coated particles comprises silica, and at least one functional molecule, and wherein the at least one functional molecule induces coagulation, wherein said microfluidic device measures the end products of a coagulation cascade with plasma.
