Relationship between red blood cell aggregation and dextran molecular mass

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the aggregation of red blood cells (RBCs) suspended in dextran solution at various levels of molecular mass. Dextran solutions at molecular mass 40, 70, 100 and 500 kDa at concentration from 2 to 5 g/dL were used to suspend the RBCs. The radius and v...
