[Magnetic susceptibility of single human erythrocytes]

Velocity of movement of a large number of erythrocytes containing different forms of hemoglobin in a homogeneous magnetic field was measured. Distributions of the erythrocytes according to their movement velocity were obtained. Values of magnetic susceptibility were found. For the majority of oxigenized erythrocytes they are -0.75 x 10(-6), for desoxigenized ones -0,46 x 10(-6), for those containing 97% methemoglobin -0,54 x 10(-6). The method of obtaining erithrocytes distribution by their movement velocities in a nonhomogeneous magnetic field is proposed for diagnostical application.
