title: Effects of temperature, pH and blood storage on osmotic fragility of duck erythrocytes.
abstract: The osmotic fragility of duck erythrocytes at different pH and temperatures and during blood storage was studied. The fragility increased in acidic solution and also as the temperature increased. However, storage of blood decreased the fragility of duck erythrocytes.
