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

Figure 2

Haemolysis curves for control and NIR irradiated human erythrocytes. The upper right figure shows the distribution of osmotic properties calculated from the first derivative of the haemolysis curve. The mean osmotic fragility for modified and unmodified cells is nearly the same; the position of the maximum of the first derivative curve is not shifted.
