Most common blood-mimicking fluid items and their preparation methods

Material number	Material	Method	Application	References
1.0	Orgasol™ (nylon)	Nylon particles of three different sizes (5, 10, and 20 µm) were mixed with four materials of fluids (dextran, surfactant, pure water, and glycerol) based on weight by the magnetic stirrer and then the mixture was filtered by sieve and degassed by a vacuum pump	Speculating the achievement of Doppler ultrasound tool in the test object by using artificial blood	[1,3,5,11,12,17,40,49]
2.0	Polystyrene microspheres	BMF was prepared with the acoustic speed and density with polystyrene particles as a scattered material suspension in the fluids and it was mixed with water-soluble silicone oil	Using Doppler ultrasound for measurement of blood flow	[2,8,9,13,15]
