Abstract

The data we presented at the 1982 Workshop indicated that erythrocyte deformability,as measured by positive-pressure filtration through 5 μm pore diameter polycarbonate (Nuclepore) membranes, was affected by the anticoagulant used during storage of the whole blood sample at room temperature (1). Subsequent analysis of the pressure-time curves of this system showed that the initial pressure (steady state slope of filtration curve extrapolated back to zero time; Pi) was the most sensitive of the curve parameters to these anticoagulant effects.
