PCT No. PCT/GB91/00289 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 21, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 21, 1992 PCT Filed Feb. 22, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO91/13338 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 5, 1991.A method of performing biorheological measurements on a suspension (4) of cells by causing some of the cells to pass through one or more microsize tunnels (3) in a solid medium (1, 2) under a pressure difference between the tunnel ends and monitoring (6) their passage through the tunnel or tunnels, characterized in that the pressure difference is monitored to produce a signal which is recorded or is utilized to provide feedback to regulate the biorheological measurements. Apparatus for performing this method may have such a pressure feedback control, or may have tunnels with at least partly transparent walls for transmitting optical information to a detector for the biorheological measurements. |
