Abstract: Using a prototype system we determine the dynamic behaviour of the clogging effect of an erythrocyte suspension flow via micropore filters. The system functions as a simple electronic device and a characteristic curve of the change in height of the level of RBC suspension which flows through the filter versus time is plotted.
