The Figure 3 represents the results of
osmotic fragility measurement for erythrocyte collected from control group and coalmine workers, where the percentage of hemolyzed cells has been plotted as a function of the percentage concentration of NaCl.
The primary tests include
osmotic fragility test, hemoglobin electrophoresis, G6PD and PK enzyme levels.
To assess
osmotic fragility and reduced glutathione concentration, 2.5 ml was transferred to a vial containing EDTA.
Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides (otherwise called Fagara, orin-ata) roots have been analyzed for antiprotease and membrane stabilizing activity using a modified
osmotic fragility technique to analyze membrane stabilization action [22].
In this study, the effects on packed cell volume (PCV) and
osmotic fragility were determined in rats fed Ximenia caffra seed meal (XCSM) as a non-conventional dietary protein source.
The incubated
osmotic fragility curves of both the patient and her son were shifted to right with a tail of fragile cells.
The effect of EDTA, heparin and storage on the erythrocyte
osmotic fragility, plasma osmolality and haematocrit of adult ostriches (Struthio camelus).

osmotic fragility. Biochim Biophys Acta 465:46-53.
The
osmotic fragility of red blood cells was monitored using different concentrations of sodium chloride.
