ABSTRACT:
Experiments have been conducted which demonstrate that gel optical density is a linear function of the fibrin fiber mass/length ratio (.mu.). Once the linear function is known, knowledge of a gel optical density at one wavelength is adequate to determine .mu.. Such measurements allow quantitative monitoring of fibrin structure, and are clinically relevant.
