Abstract
The micro-rheological property of blood was investigated with a new micro method. Principle: a glass fiber (∅ 10 μ, l=2.0 cm), driven by a constant force, traverses a blood sample. The speed of the glass fiber is directly proportional to the viscosity of the blood. Because of the small diameter of the fiber, the method is considered to be more sensitive to the intercellular friction of the erythrocytes. The methodical error was less than ±2%. The values obtained with the new method resembled those of coaxial viscosimeters.
