A newly designed type of oscillating viscometer is described. The viscometer consists of either a tube or a rod oscillating at a resonance frequency with amplitudes in the micro- and nanometer range. A fluid flowing through the tube or surrounding the rod damps the torsional oscillations. The increase in the damping depends on the viscosity of the fluid and is used to determine viscosity. It was found that viscosity measurements are feasible during blood flow. This new type of viscometer may be useful to the study of biophysical properties of blood at the wall surface during flow and give new insights into blood flow. The device allows direct viscosity measurement on blood directly as it is drawn from the vein through the tube without any anticoagulant.
