The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F1841 standard for the assessment of hemolysis in blood pumps recommends using phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for hemodilution to standardize hematocrit (HCT). However, PBS increases red blood cell mechanical fragility and hemolysis. Herein, we investigated diluents and dilutions during in vitro testing to reduce hemodilution bias when assessing hemolysis. Bovine blood was diluted with either PBS or PBS + 4/6 g% bovine serum albumin (BSA) to a 70/90% blood dilution, or to an HCT of
