Molecular rotors, a group of fluorescent molecules with viscosity-dependent quantum yield, were tested for their suitability to act as fluorescence-based plasma viscometers. The viscosity of samples of human plasma was modified by the addition of pentastarch (molecular mass 260 kDa, 10% solution in saline) and measured with a Brookfield viscometer. Plasma viscosity was 1.6 mPa.s, and the mixtures ranged up to 4.5 mPa.s (21degreesC). The stimulated light emission of the molecular rotors mixed in the plasma samples yielded light intensity that was nonoverlapping and of significantly different intensity for viscosity steps down to 0.3 mPa.s (n = 5, P < 0.0001). The mathematical relationship between intensity (I) and viscosity (η) was found to be η = (κI)(ν). After calibration and scaling the fluorescence based measurement had an average deviation versus the conventional viscometric measurements that was
