Abstract(in English) The Electro-Magnetically Spinning (EMS) method is an innovative and unique technique for measuring viscosity of fluids. Lately, an advanced system with the EMS method was developed to evaluate rheological properties such as relation between viscosity and shear rate. The system called EMS rheometer has many advantages in measurement accuracy, measurable range of viscosity and shear rate, easy handling of sample preparation and replacement, etc., compared with the other conventional rheometers. These features will be useful to investigate blood fluidity particularly in quantitative research for large numbers of data. For the first step of study of blood fluidity, we need a model sample of dispersion system with the similar size and mechanical properties of blood cells. However, there is no commercial product that satisfies both of the requirements. Then, we conducted sample generation of a gel-like microstructure using the originally developed microdroplet technique. In this report, we perform the fluidity measurements of the generated samples, and discuss the difference in mechanical properties of gel-like structures due to the generation conditions.
