The impedance spectroscopy technique (IST) was used for studying the effect of a 0.5 T magnetic field on the electrical properties of whole human blood. A Solartron SI 1260 spectrometer was used to measure the impedance spectra of magnetic field exposed blood samples compared to non‐exposed samples. An equivalent electrical circuit model, consisting in a resistance R s in series with a parallel circuit formed by a constant phase element (CPE) and another resistance R p , is proposed to fit the data in both cases. The experiment used 3 ml human blood samples from 160 healthy donors. A Wilcoxon matched pairs statistical test was applied to the data. The data analysis seems to show a statistically significant increase of the values of resistance R p ( Z  = 5.06, P  < 0.001) and capacitance C T ( Z  = 3.32, P  < 0.001) of the blood exposed to magnetic field, by approximately 10.4% and 1.9%, respectively.
