Individual Osmotic Fragility Distribution: A New Parameter for Determination of the Osmotic Properties of Human Red Blood Cells

Figure 4

Dependence between the width of the osmotic fragility distribution and the slope factor of the haemolysis curve for experimental data along with computer simulations for ideal Gaussian distributions. The experimental data fits the theoretical curve only in some part. The high and low values of mean osmotic fragility show that the properties of the cells’ osmotic distribution do not have a Gaussian character.
