Abstract
A comparison has been made of the response of the Myrenne Erythrocyte Aggregometer (MEA) with fibrinogeo concentration, low shear rate viscometry and the ESR used as indices of red cell aggregating potential of samples of normal blood. A good linear correlation has been found between the response of the MEA and each of the other indices in these circumstances. It is concluded that because of this correlation, combined with its ease and speed of use, it is a valuable instrument for the quantitation of erythrocyte aggregation.
