Abstract

A new device for evaluation of red cell deformability is described. A population of red cells dispersed as a monolayer are subjected to a well defined fluid shear stress in a concentric cylinder viscometer. Red cell deformation is a function of rotational speed and red cell elongation is measured in a continuous manner using a diffraction method. Preliminary results in clinical medicine are presented.
