Viscous Effect

The viscous effect is the resistance a fluid offers to flow or to the relative motion of its layers, arising from internal friction and molecular interactions. In a moving fluid, adjacent layers transfer momentum through collisions and cohesive forces, so greater viscosity requires more force to maintain the same shear rate and slows the movement of suspended particles or dissolved species. In chemistry, understanding this effect supports the design of mixing processes, flow systems, coatings, and formulations, while viscosity measurements help characterize liquids, monitor composition, and predict how materials will behave during processing and transport.

Here, we present a protocol to quantify allergen-loaded particles by flow cytometry. Ambient particulate matter particles may act as carriers of adsorbed allergens. We show here that flow cytometry, a method widely used to characterize suspended solids >0.5 µm in diameter, can be used to measure these allergen-loaded particles.
