RheoSCAN-AnD300 can measure comprehensive rheological properties of blood within a short time (< 2 min). Now, RBC deformability, aggregation and aggregating force can be easily measured with a leading-edge microfluidic technology.
• Deformability : EI@3Pa, EImax, t1/2
• Aggregation : AI, M, ESR, t1/2
• Aggregating force : critical shear stress (CSS)
• Due to the quick and easy operation, RheoSCAN can be used at research laboratories and clinical environments.

RBC Deformability
Impaired RBC Deformability leads to hypoxia
RBC deformability plays a critical role in blood circulation.Healthy RBCs have to pass through capillaries whose diameter is smaller than their size. Decreased red blood cell deformability results in hypoxia due to decreased oxygen delivery capacity in blood vessels.
