Traditional Blood Rheology Assays

Traditional assays for whole blood and RBC rheology analysis

About

RBC Deformability

Laser diffraction ektacytometry – RBC elongation index is measured under shear stress.

Osmoscan

RBC deformability under an osmotic gradient.

Aggregation & Disaggregation

Syllectometry – RBC aggregation kinetics and tendency are measured.

Oxygenscan

RBC deformability is measured under different oxygen tensions.

Point of Sickling (POS)

The relative oxygen pressure when sickle RBCs start sickling is measured.
