| Abstract: | Pluronic F-68 (F-68), a surfactant, has been used in i.v. fat emulsions and artificial blood emulsions as a co-emulsifying agent. In this study we have examined the effect of F-68 on the red blood cell (RBC) membrane in vitro. Because of its high molecular weight (8,350 g/M), aqueous solutions are hypotonic to RBC's. |
