Rapid Viscoelastic Characterization of Airway Mucus Using a Benchtop Rheometer
April 21st, 2022
•The viscoelastic properties of mucus play a critical role in mucociliary clearance. However, traditional mucus rheological techniques require complex and time-consuming approaches. This study provides a detailed protocol for the use of a benchtop rheometer that can rapidly and reliably perform viscoelastic measurements.
