Abstract
1. The factors influencing blood conductivity have been noted. 2. An accurate apparatus has been designed to measure blood and plasma conductivity. 3. A new cell has been designed to measure conductivity of blood. 4. Through studies on normal blood before and after dilution, a correlation has been shown to exist between blood conductivity and the red cell count. 5. The form factor for normal human red cells has been determined to be 1.393. 6. A mathematical equation is presented relating red cell count with conductivity for normal blood. See PDF for Equation 7. The factor C on the basis of 33 determinations has been calculated to be 10.80.
