heal.abstract	A new capillary system was developed, incorporating infrared sensors, which allowed the determination of whole blood viscosity over a wide range of shear stresses. Flow conditions were defined by the geometry of the capillary and the sample pressure head. Whole blood was considered to be a power law fluid and a modified Mooney's formula was used for the calculation of the related invariants. The new viscometer proved to be very simple in use, requiring one run, had a short measuring time and utilised a small test sample volume. However it can be used for whole blood viscosity measurements only at medium and high shear stresses.	en
