FIG. 2.

Glycerol removal in the microfluidic device. (a) RBCs in 10% glycerol, isotonic saline wash. (b) Frozen-thawed RBCs in 40% glycerol, 3.4% saline wash. The relative glycerol concentration was calculated by normalizing the outlet glycerol concentration to the inlet glycerol concentration. Squares and diamonds are data points obtained from experiments conducted in the 130 and 50 μm device, respectively. The corresponding model predictions are represented by the dashed and solid lines, respectively.
