RBC necessary per test/scan

• For a good quality and a stable RBC diffraction pattern a minimum number of cells is required.
• As a reference healthy blood contains ~4 million RBC per µl

For a Deformability measurement this results in 25 microliter of "normal" whole blood for 5 milliliter Elon ISO.

Calculated as number of cells per test this is: 25 * 4* 10⁶ results in 100 * 10⁶ RBC per test (Deformability measurement)

For a Deformability test 100 * 10⁶ RBC are needed.
In µl whole blood this is 100/cell-count (without the 10⁶)

For an Osmoscan 1000 * 10⁶ RBC are needed.
In µl whole blood this is 1000/cell-count (without the 10⁶)

For an Oxygenscan 200 * 10⁶ RBC are needed.
In µl whole blood this is 200/cell-count (without the 10⁶)
