In a variety of investigations described in the literature it was not clear to what extent the transmembrane potential red blood cells (RBCs) was changed after the cells have been transferred into low ionic strength (LIS) solutions. Another open question was to find out how fast the transmembrane potential of RBCs in LIS solution will change and which final new equilibrium value will be reached.
