- Abstract:
- High-precision (10(-5) g/ml) mass density measurements on human blood, plasma, plasma ultrafiltrate (using PM-10 membranes), and erythrocyte concentrate samples were performed with the mechanical oscillator technique. Measurement temperatures varied between 4 and 48 degrees C and were accurate to +/- 1 X 10(-2) K. The coefficient of thermal expansion (beta), defined as relative volume change with temperature, was calculated. It was shown that beta increases with temperature in these fluid samples over the entire temperature range investigated; the magnitude of this increase declines with increasing temperature; beta increases with density at temperatures below 40 degrees C but is independent of density above 40 degrees C; and the beta of the intracellular fluid has about twice the value of the beta for extracellular fluid at low (4-10 degrees C) temperatures but is equal for both fluids at greater than or equal to 40 degrees C. The mechanical oscillator technique provides data with an accuracy sufficient to perform precise (10(-5) K) calculations of beta of small volumes of biological fluids.
