How to Calculate Haemolytic Activity?
Haemolytic Activity calculator uses Haemolytic Index = 1000*Saponin Quantity/Plant Material Quantity to calculate the Haemolytic Index, The Haemolytic Activity formula is defined as a test which is done for drugs belonging to the family Caryophyllaceae, Araliaceae, Sapindaceae and Dioscoraceae. The drugs belonging to these families contain saponins, which have the ability to cause haemolysis. When added to blood, saponins produce changes in erythrocytes membranes causing haemolysis. The activity is compared with reference material saponin. Haemolytic Index is denoted by HI symbol.
How to calculate Haemolytic Activity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Haemolytic Activity, enter Saponin Quantity (a) & Plant Material Quantity (bMQ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Haemolytic Activity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 100 = 1000*0.016/0.16.
