Figure 4. Stress-Induced Hemolysis and the Influence of Washing.

Figure 4

Susceptibility to hemolysis in response to physical stress was determined by (A) agitation stress or (B) filtration stress. Induction of hemolysis by agitation stress was not different before or after washing (A), and this was independent of the specific washing device. Similarly, hemolysis by pore filtration stress was not statistically different between groups prior to washing but was non-significantly reduced by about 30% in each condition.
