Vibrational Viscosimeter Design for Biomedical Purposes

Abstract

In this study, a vibrational viscosimeter design used in biomedical applications, especially dialysis systems were performed. Differently from existing systems, it has larger sample container in size. Considering the effect of temperature on viscosity, to obtain more sensitive measurements, homogeneous distribution of the temperature in container was provided and the temperature was controlled via temperature sensors placed in many sides of container. Following the design of system, it was tested by using water and glycerol which has different viscosity. The results obtained with the measurements showed that the viscosity decreased with temperature.
