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

Figure 5

Relative change (in percentage) of the slope factor of the haemolysis curve for NIR irradiated cells compared to the control as a function of the erythrocyte storage period. Erythrocytes stored during shorter and longer periods and the dispersion of distribution decreased around 50%–60%, while the minimal value was reached between 10 and 30 days of storage.
