Sourcebook Update: RBC hemolysis studies using a simple modified blood film technique

This study presents a novel approach to observing osmotic effect on red blood cells (RBCs) using a simple, modified blood film technique. Aimed at enhancing educational understanding of cellular behavior in different osmotic environments, this method provides a practical hand-on learning experience. By applying various osmotic solutions to prepared blood films and observing the resultant morphological changes in RBCs under a microscope, this technique allows for direct visualization of osmosis in action.PMID:38545643 | DOI:10.1152/advan.00033.2024
