Abstract
The instrumental requirements for measuring the rheological properties of blood and blood plasma will depend strongly on the purpose for which the measurements are made. Such purposes fall mainly into one of the following three categories: (1) to obtain clinically useful data to assist in diagnostic problems; (2) to obtain basic information on the physical properties of blood in order to evaluate the nature of substructures such as aggregates, micelles, etc.; (3) to obtain data adequate for the design of equipment such as heart-lung machines, heart booster pumps, blood dialysis units, heat transfer apparatus, etc.
