Abstract
Our previous studies demonstrated a huge difference in rotational speed of trapped red blood cells under diseased condition, which was presumably attributed to change in viscoelastic properties. Here, we report use of single optical tweezers combined with viscous drag for stretching of the trapped cell. Significant differences were observed in the measured viscoelastic parameters of fresh and aged/malaria-infected RBCs under hypotonic condition. The technique was also found to provide information about adhesion properties of RBCs.
