Abstract
The electrophoretic mobility of erythrocytes from patients with primary Raynaud’s phenomenon was measured in near physiological strength saline using laser Doppler microelectrophoresis and has been shown not to be significantly different from that of matched normal controls. It was found that washing the erythrocytes caused a significant, but small, increase in mobility of up to 3.5%. Two anticoagulation procedures, defibrination and heparinization, were compared and found not to affect measured mobility.
