Crynodeb
This study reports an automated numerical method for the location of the gel point in oscillatory shear data and demonstrates its potential application in measurements on therapeutically modified (heparinised) samples of healthy coagulating blood. Heparin prolongs the onset of clot formation and has a significant effect on the microstructure of the clot which is eventually formed. The results demonstrate the potential of this rheometrical technique as a new tool for monitoring the effect of heparin on samples of whole blood with significantly better linearity of response within the therapeutic range than another global coagulation monitoring technique (thromboelastography) which has previously been used.
