I want to build a device for my project that mimics the RBC fl
Question

Question asked by Filo student

I want to build a device for my project that mimics the RBC flow. What are the alternatives to real blood that I can use? I know there is polystyrene, but where can I buy spheres in the same size as red blood cells? Also, RBCs are paramagnetic if there is oxygen, so how can I find alternative spheres that have the same size and the same paramagnetic feature? Please help.
