Parent branch haematocrit profiles.

<p>Sample haematocrit profiles in the parent branch for a range of . Lines show spline fits through the data and error bars show standard deviations. (a) Dextran data (b) PBS data. Uniform haematocrit distribution is indicated by the solid line. Insets show fits to Equation S14: axes on the insets are equal to the main figure.</p

Schematic of the experimental setup.

<p>The blood sample is stirred continuously and perfused via pressure control. Focussed microstrobe illumination is used to acquire images of the flow with a CCD camera.</p

Skewness of the haematocrit profiles.

<p>Haematocrit skewness index, , as a function of flow ratio in (a) Bifurcation 1 (b) Bifurcation 2. Error bars show one standard deviation.</p

Middle and outlet branch haematocrit profiles.

<p>(a) Sample haematocrit profiles in the middle branch and (b) in the outlet branch. See <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0100473#pone-0100473-t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a> for details of flow ratios. Profiles are indicated with a smoothing spline for clarity and error bars show one standard deviation.</p

Flux-flow curves.

<p>Flux-flow curves with empirical fits (a) Bifurcation 1, Dextran (b) Bifurcation 2, Dextran (c) Bifurcation 1, PBS (d) Bifurcation 2, PBS. Error bars show one standard deviation. Parameter values and 95% confidence intervals are given for each fit.</p

Errors in RBC mass continuity and volumetric continuity, shown as weighted mean and standard deviation, with weights defined from the reciprocal of the variance for each data set, calculated from the cumulative errors.

Daughter branch haematocrit profiles.

<p>Sample haematocrit profiles in (a) daughter branch 1 and (b) daughter branch 2.
