Introduction

The osmotic fragility test (OFT) is a method of determining erythrocyte

resilience to hemolysis when they are exposed to varied amounts of

saline solution dilution. There is no actual agreement among

laboratories on a reference range of results for erythrocyte osmotic

fragility.

Aim

Osmotic fragility is a blood test to detect whether red blood cells

are more likely to break down. Erythrocyte fragility refers to the

propensity of erythrocytes (red blood cells, RBC) to hemolyze

(rupture) under stress.

Method
First, We took out blood from our friends arm,. Following that, we mix the blood

with two different rates of sodium chloride in two different tubs, then mix with

distilled water (no salt) and wait a short time. It is important to be careful not to

shake the tubs with our hands to avoid destroying red blood cells. The three tubs

were then placed in a centrifuge to separate the blood components. After

extracting the liquids from the tubs, we put the remaining tub parts into a sample.

Finally, we examine a sample under a microscope to determine osmotic and

environmental parameters at various levels of the cell membrane in a saline

solution environment.

Result

hypertonic RBC 100x hypotonic RBC 100x Isotonic RBC 100x

Discussion

In this discussion we want to talk about those picture that we can see it

clearly. The first experience is hypertonic red blood cell, and light

micrograph of red blood cells in a hypertonic solution. Hypertonic

solutions contain a high concentration of solute relative to the cells'

cytoplasm. When the cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, the water

diffuses out of the cells, causing them to shrink and collapse. The

second experience is isotonic solutions are those where the

concentration of solute is the same as that found in the cells' cytoplasm.

When the cells are placed in an isotonic solution, they retain their

normal shape and water content. The third experience is hypotonic

solution which contain a low concentration of solute relative to the cells'

cytoplasm. When the cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, the water

diffuses into the cells, causing them to become turgid.
