Influence of strong magnetic field on the sedimentation of red blood cells

Influence of vertical magnetic fields of ± 1200 T2m-1 on the sedimentation of red blood cells were examined. The sedimentation rate changes 10-20 % by application of the magnetic fields. This result is interpreted in terms of the magnetic force acting on the cells.
