A new simple filtration technique designed for measuring red cell filtrability in the routine laboratory use was developed. The suspension of the whole blood in saline (1:20,000 dilution) was processed on the Sartorius filter membranes, pore size 8 micron. The percentage of passed erythrocytes indicating red cell filtrability was determined. The suitability and perspective applicability of this method for studying various hematological disorders is proposed.
