Abstract We measured a blood flow in a polydimethysiloxane micro channel to reflect the complex geometry of a microvascular network. A flow rate was compared between two working fluids: water and blood. The measured flow rate reflected the bifurcation effects on the apparent viscosity determined by hematocrit, as well as the effects of the surrounding flow channels as bypasses. More >
