| Research Abstract |
Experimental technology that can measure the magnetic and electric characteristics of a single red blood cell (RBC) suspended in a fluid exposed under strong magnetic field using high-speed camera, microchannels, micro-electric sensors was developed in this study. Further, a novel fluid temperature measurement in microchannels using fluorescent polarization method was also developed. By using these measurement technologies, the RBC motions in fluids under magnetic field of 0-10 Tesla could be analyzed. The measurement data was further used to develop a numerical model that can directly simulate the physics of the magnetic effect on the RBC membrane. This model possesses a high general versatility to simulate three-dimensional RBC motion in fluids and can be applied to a biologic numerical simulator.
