Comparison of Blood Electrical Resistivity Measurement Using Paper Chips with Whole Blood Viscosity

In this study, as part of a broader investigation of micro-paper-based analytical devices (microPADs), we verified whether it was possible to measure the electrical resistivity of human blood samples using paper-based chips designed for electrical resistivity measurement. We also aimed to investigate the correlation between electrical resistivity and whole blood viscosity, the latter being calculated from the hematocrit value of blood and the total protein value of serum.
