Optical Tweezers as a New Biomedical Tool to Measure Zeta Potential of Stored Red Blood Cells
During storage, red blood cells (RBCs) for transfusion purposes suffer progressive deterioration. Sialylated glycoproteins of the RBC membrane are responsible for a negatively charged surface which creates a repulsive electrical zeta potential. These charges help prevent the interaction between RBCs...
