This video demonstrates the Dacie's method in performing osmotic fragility testing. Let us know in the comments. What other topics would you like us to cover?
The final procedure will depend on your specific laboratory protocol. However Heparinized and EDTA blood can be used for the osmotic fragility as well. It should be noted that EDTA causes increased fragility in RBCs. Reference: doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2257.1998.00014.x doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2016.00288
Very detailed and simplified. Thank you for this.
Very nice, very scientific, thank you very much.
Very useful and well-made video! Do you have a reference (article/book) for the protocol you use?
pls why we can't use oxalate and citrated blood ?
