Histological analysis of cellular components for in vitro thrombus formation using Chandler loop and Carstairs’ stain

Taylor Pust

The present in vitro study uses a Chandler loop to mimic clot formation in the middle cerebral artery (MCA). The tubing diameter and rotational speed were adjusted to stimulate low (448.37) and high (986.83) Reynolds numbers that are consistent with the blood flow in the MCA. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the percent composition of red blood cells and platelets between the low and high Reynolds number conditions.
