Haemolysis is when red blood cells are broken open so that the cytoplasm within them is released into the bloodstream. It can occur in humans as a result of several different medical problems.
Haemolysis is the the rupture or destruction of red blood cells.

Can you answer what the following bloodtests are for? bone profile urea and electrolytes haemolysis check thanks
Excessive squeezing will cause haemolysis of the sample, i.e., the rupture of red blood cells, thus releasing their content (Hb and electrolytes) into the plasma. Haemolysis will alter potassium, ionised calcium (ICa), phosphate and enzymes. If gross haemolysis occurs, all results may be affected, due to a dilution of the sample by dissolved haemoglobin. Tissue fluid (resulting in increased potassium levels) may also contaminate the blood sample if you squeeze too hard.
Causes invasive infections; more severe and less common. Infects bloods and organs.
Glacial Acetic Acid
rbcs usually becomes swollen or haemolyse in hypotonic solution, this is due to osmosis. In this case, the concentration of solute is more inside the rbc, hence it exerts osmotic pressure which draws water from lower osmotic solution. The rbc swells to its limit because of its biconcave structure and burst after crossing its limit (haemolysis)
If you are using a spectrophotometer to read the samples then you take the tube with the greatest amount of haemolysis as the 100% tube. Then you place the absorbance readings of the other tubes over the absorbance reading in the 100% tube and multiply by 100. E.g 100% = Abs of 1.302 Unknown = Abs of 0.620 0.620/1.302 x 100 = % Haemolysis in that tube. Hope that helps :P
