Summary
Plasma haemoglobin content was determined in samples of blood withdrawn from glass and plastic containers where it had been stored for different periods of time. Our results indicate that the rate of haemolysis is far more rapid when the blood is stored in glass than in plastic containers.
Résumé
Ľhémoglobine plasmatique a été mesuré dans des échantillons de sang ďâge différent venant de récipients en verre et en plastique.
Nos résultats indiquent que la vitesse ďhémolyse sanguine est beaucoup plus rapide dans le sang conservé dans des récipients en verre que dans celui conservé dans des récipients en plastique.
