title: Dependency of red blood cell passage time on pore geometry in the single-pore erythrocyte rigidometer (SER).
abstract: Employing the "Singlepore Erythrocyte Rigidometer" (SER) in which small pore diameters were used, significant differences were measured between red blood cells from adjuvant arthritic rats compared to control from non-diseased animals. The results changed to opposite values using higher pore diameters, which may be due to differences in cell "rigidity" and MCV.
