Dimensional distribution of human erythrocytes obtained from electropermeabilization experiments

摘要

Electropermeabilization of erythrocyte membrane was performed using square electric field pulses of 50 μs and 1 ms pulse length. The electrohemolysis efficiency has a sigmoid dependence on the electric field strength given mainly by the statistical distribution of erythrocytes radius. The normalized dimensional distribution function for a human erythrocyte population was determined from electropermeabilization data.
