Comparison among human-blood liquid solutions

Summary

In this paper the authors intend to illustrate the results of optical properties of human blood as suspension of cells in aqueous solutions of electrolytes and non-electrolytes, which are highly complex liquid systems susceptible to important phase transitions. They carried out normal and derivative spectrophotometric measurements of non-pathologic diluted blood and serum samples to show optical absorption peak positions of haematological chromophores including haemoglobin and fibrinogen. The authors think that optical behaviour of the chromophores may be influenced by interaction with different environmental situations relative to coagulated and uncoagulated samples. They continue these studies with particular reference to the nature of the solute-induced modifications.
