Sh. Si et al., USING PIEZOELECTRIC QUARTZ-CRYSTAL TO STUDY HEMORHEOLOGICAL PHENOMENA- BLOOD-CLOTTING AND UROKINASE ACTIVATED FIBRINOLYSIS, Analytical letters, 27(11), 1994, pp. 2027-2037
A piezoelectric quartz crystal (PBC) was used to study hemorheological
phenomena. On the basis of equivalent circuit parameters, the frequen
cy response corresponding to the blood clotting was discussed. The res
ults show that the response of PBC was dominated by viscosity change a
t the initial stage, and then by mass effect and surface stress. With
PQC monitoring the change of coagulated plasma viscosity, the urokinas
e activated fibrinolysis was investigated.
