Blood viscosity measurements are performed using the Hemathix SCV-200 automated scanning capillary tube viscometer, which is capable of measuring viscosity over the complete range of physiologic values experienced in a cardiac cycle (10,000 shear rates) with a single continuous measurement.
This methodology represents a breakthrough in blood viscosity testing that provides a complete picture of blood viscosity changes in each patient. This allows the physician to make significant treatment decisions toward improving the patientâ™s quality of life and health outcome.
Meridian Valley Lab is proud to be the only laboratory in North America offering this state-of-the-art testing for blood viscosity.
