[Erythrocyte sedimentation rate in diluted suspensions and their electrophoretic mobility in a vertical electrical field].
The sedimentation rates (SR) of human red blood cells (RBC) were measured in diluted suspensions using the thin plate chamber. If the suspension medium was phosphate buffer saline or 0,18 M NaCl the SR-dependence on the distance to the chambers wall corresponded to SR distribution of small particles without interaction. The more NaCl content was decreased down to 0.145 M, the more temperature-dependent variations of SR were noted, while SR distribution became distinct with the predicted one for the non-interacting particles. The use of SR distribution is discussed for testing the RBC interaction in diluted suspensions caused by sedimentation. The electrophoretic measurements carried out under vertical oriented electrical field showed the rate of RBC movement to be the linear function of the field gradient and to be not influenced under the SR modifying conditions.
