Abstract
Provided is a technique that allows high-accuracy electrical measurement without the influence of blood sedimentation in a case where various measurements or evaluations are performed using blood samples containing a blood cell component and a plasma component. Provided is an electrical measurement method for electrically measuring a blood sample including at least a blood cell component and a plasma component, the electrical measurement method including the step of adding a blood sedimentation inhibitor to the blood sample. Also provided is a blood sedimentation inhibitor for use in electrical measurement of a blood sample including at least a blood cell component and a plasma component, the blood sedimentation inhibitor including a non-cationic water-soluble compound and being capable of increasing specific gravity and/or viscosity of the plasma component.
