Haemolysis is when red blood cells are broken open so that the cytoplasm within them is released into the bloodstream. It can occur in humans as a result of several different medical problems.

What will excessive squeezing around a capillary puncture site cause?
Excessive squeezing will cause haemolysis of the sample, i.e., the rupture of red blood cells, thus releasing their content (Hb and electrolytes) into the plasma. Haemolysis will alter potassium, ionised calcium (ICa), phosphate and enzymes. If gross haemolysis occurs, all results may be affected, due to a dilution of the sample by dissolved haemoglobin. Tissue fluid (resulting in increased potassium levels) may also contaminate the blood sample if you squeeze too hard.

Erythrocytes show various form of haemolysis in a hypotonic solution?
rbcs usually becomes swollen or haemolyse in hypotonic solution, this is due to osmosis. In this case, the concentration of solute is more inside the rbc, hence it exerts osmotic pressure which draws water from lower osmotic solution. The rbc swells to its limit because of its biconcave structure and burst after crossing its limit (haemolysis)
How do you calculate percentage of hemolysis?
If you are using a spectrophotometer to read the samples then you take the tube with the greatest amount of haemolysis as the 100% tube. Then you place the absorbance readings of the other tubes over the absorbance reading in the 100% tube and multiply by 100. E.g 100% = Abs of 1.302 Unknown = Abs of 0.620 0.620/1.302 x 100 = % Haemolysis in that tube. Hope that helps :P
