Abstract
The factors which affect the measurement of the osmotic resistance (fragility) of human red cells have been analyzed, and a method for such measurements has been presented. The factors: pH, temp., rate of attainment of equilibrium, and chemical environmental changes each markedly influence the measurement of osmotic resistance. The magnitude and direction of their effects are considered.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
