Abstract:
A method is provided for measuring the viscosity of a fluid sample. The method comprising the steps of: (ii) providing a flow of the fluid sample; (iii) providing a component flow, wherein the component flow is a flow of the fluid sample further comprising a tracer component; (iv) generating a laminar flow of the flow (ii) with the flow (iii) in a diffusion channel, such as a microfluidic diffusion channel ( 2 ); (iv) measuring the lateral diffusion of the tracer component across the flows; and (v) determining the viscosity of the fluid from the measured diffusion profile, wherein the size of the tracer component is known or is determined.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein step (ii) provides two flows of the fluid sample, and the sample fluid flows are brought into contact with and provided either side of the fluid flow comprising the tracer component.
