IN VITRO ERYTHROCYTE STABILIZATION BY ETHANOL

The results of in vitro study of varying concentrations of ethanolic solutions on erythrocyte lysis are reported. On average the addition of 2 to 2.5 M ethanol (in compound lactate sodium BP) to blood caused somewhat less lysis than did the solvent alone. This is equivalent to approximately 8 per ce...

Description
Summary:The results of in vitro study of varying concentrations of ethanolic solutions on erythrocyte lysis are reported. On average the addition of 2 to 2.5 M ethanol (in compound lactate sodium BP) to blood caused somewhat less lysis than did the solvent alone. This is equivalent to approximately 8 per cent w/v which is the safest solution for clinical use.
