A centrifuge apparatus for sedimentation study

摘要: Method and means for the study of sedimentation characteristics whole blood involving application greater than gravity force laterally to a thin, substantially vertically oriented column in predetermined cyclic series intermittent applications, being physically rotated about 180* its own axis between each application. A centrifuge apparatus is described applying G range 6.25 8 long plural test sample columns arranged holders provided on head. Means are causing rotation their vertical axes periodic spin cycle said head only applications force. preferred operation using four 45 second duration with effected by reversal at end Other cycles which give results correlatable obtained recognized standardized procedures. The provides independent effect hematocrit particular sample.
