[Method of determining the aggregational properties of the formed elements in blood]

A theoretical analysis of the filtration dynamics showed that the hydrodynamic resistance of the filter and the time of the blood flow proportional to it is determined by the degree of aggregation and adhesion of the constituents. The design of the device and the sequence of operations for investigating the influence of the pharmacological agents on the aggregation of cells are described. A micromethod with the use of Panchenkov's device has been devised, which enables the aggregation of cells in the blood drawn through a puncture of the finger to be investigated.
