Name of RBC diluting fluid?
Gower's solution
Why wbc diluting fluid hemolyze rbc?
The distilled water present in the WBC diluting fluid is not isotonic and therefore is responsible for the destruction of RBCs. DR. Umesh Ghate and Shruti Salian
What is the chemical composition of RBC diluting fluid?
RBC diluting fluid commonly consists of an isotonic saline solution containing electrolytes and buffers to maintain the stability of red blood cells during counting. The composition may vary based on the specific laboratory protocol or commercial product used.
What diluting means?
To mix a fluid or chemical with water to make it not as strong.I love bunnies!
What is the role of RBC diluting fluid?
The role of RBC diluting fluid in laboratory testing is to dilute blood samples to a standardized concentration for accurate cell counting and analysis. It helps ensure that the sample is within the measurable range of the instrument, enabling accurate and reproducible results.
Use of sodium citrate in RBC diluting fluid?
Sodium citrate is used in RBC diluting fluid to prevent clotting by chelating calcium ions, which are necessary for clot formation. It helps to maintain the integrity of the red blood cells and allows for accurate cell counting and sizing in hematological analysis.
Red blood cells are also known as?
red blood cells are also called erythrocytes
Why to use RBC diluting fluid for counting?
You can use any isotonic solution like Normal Saline Solution (NSS), Hayem's and Gower's.
Why the diluting fluid cause haemolysis of red blood cells but not the white blood cells in total leukocytes counting?
Glacial Acetic Acid
What is the function of gentian violet in wbc diluting fluid?
Gentian violet is used in white blood cell diluting fluid to help stain the nuclei of white blood cells, making them more visible for counting and identification under the microscope. This staining enhances the accuracy of the white blood cell count in a blood sample.
What measure determines the average size of an erythrocyte?
The mean corpuscular volume is the measure that determines the average size of an erythrocyte. The erythrocyte is what is commonly known as red blood cells.
Does carbon dioxide and bicarbonate anions move in the same direction across the plasma membrane of an erythrocyte?
Carbon dioxide enters the erythrocyte and reacts with water to form bicarbonate ions, which then exit the erythrocyte. So, they move in opposite directions across the plasma membrane of an erythrocyte.
