Model function to calculate the refractive index of native hemoglobin in the wavelength range of 250-1100 nm dependent on concentration

Abstract: The real part of the complex refractive index of oxygenated native hemoglobin solutions dependent on concentration was determined in the wavelength range 250 to 1100 nm by Fresnel reflectance measurements. The hemoglobin solution was produced by physical hemolysis of human erythrocytes followed by ultracentrifugation and filtration. A model function is presented for calculating the refractive index of hemoglobin solutions depending on concentration in the wavelength range 250 to 1100 nm.

“…The difference between the refractive indices of the erythrocyte cytoplasm and the blood plasma, as well as the specific size and structure of blood corpuscles explain the blood scattering properties [3,10,11]. The refractive index of the erythrocyte cytoplasm is determined mainly by the haemoglobin concentration [11,13,125]. The volume and the shape of an individual erythrocyte are determined by the osmolality of the blood plasma [125,126].…”

“…The refractive index values of dehydrated erythrocytes at the wavelength of 550 nm fall within the range 1.61-1.66 [12]. The refractive index of the haemoglobin solution with the concentration of 32 g/dL, which is a typical concentration of haemoglobin in the erythrocyte, amounts to nearly 1.42 [13]. For the human blood the refractive index is 1.36-1.40 depending on the wavelength [3].…”

“…In the context of RBCs, these two features make DPM an excellent candidate for measuring rapid thermal fluctuations of the red cell membrane. It must be noted that RI of the Hb is related to the concentration of the Hb and could be calculated as follows: n c = n w (1 + βc), where n w is the RI of water, c is the concentration of the Hb, and β is the wavelength-dependent RI increment (55). Using the Hb concentration, the average RI has been calculated for each density category to provide a more accurate account of the red cell morphology.…”

“…The second method as expressed by Eq. (2) is based on a long held and reasonably validated view assuming a linear relation for a type of biomolecules between its density and specific contribution to RI beyond n w [26][27][28][29]. Once RI values assigned to all voxels, an OCM was obtained and its morphology and/or RI can be modified to generate a series of OCMs derived from the same cell imaged by a confocal microscope.…”
