Graphic Analysis of Osmotic Fragility of Erythrocytes
The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1976 A precise and highly reproducible method for analyzing the osmotic fragility of erythrocytes with a minute amount of blood (less than 10 mul) is described. The osmotic fragility curves are recorded with a coil planet centrifuge with accessories and a scanning photodensitometer.
