This paper reports the data of the RI of plasma of normal blood, which is measured using Abbes' refractometer. The experimental values are compared to normal blood serum erythrocytes with Blood of Plasma suspended in various tonicity solutions between and 1.336 to 1.343, whereas the normal blood plasma refractive index is 1.351. As a result, the refractive index the worth of erythrocytes washed with different tonicity solutions are slightly lower than those of normal blood. If this optical parameter is standardized, it has the potential to be used as a tool in the medical field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
