Do changes in cell shape affect suspension conductivity?

I T Ivanov, B K Popov

The conductivity of a suspension containing uniformly oriented asymmetric cells depends on the shape of the cells. Whether the shape of cells with random spatial orientation also affects the conductivity of a suspension is not clear. A highly sensitive apparatus was used to register the dynamic changes in conductivity of erythrocyte suspension, upon induced morphological transformation discocytes<-->spherocytes). The results obtained with a sensitivity of up to 0.06% show that the drastic
