[The development of a laser back-scattering erythrocyte-aggregometer].

In this paper, an erythrocyte-aggregometer based on the analysis of the light intensity back-scattered by a blood suspension is presented and described in detail. It allows to approach aggregation phenomenon in terms of kinetics, structural and rheological parameters. A personal computer and a microcomputer are applied to automate the system's sampling, data-processing and data-restoring procedure.
