- Description:Whole Blood Hemoglobin Kit
- Size:250 assays
- Method:OD570 nm
- Processing time:Five minutes
- Cat. no.:75878-016
- Supplier No.:DWHB-250
For quantitative determination of hemoglobin (Hb) in whole blood.
- Safe. No hazardous chemicals (e.g. potassium cyanide in Drabkin’s Reagent) used
- The "mix-and-read" procedure involves addition of a single reagent and reading the optical density
- Can be readily automated to process tens of thousands of samples per day
- Assays can be executed in microplate or cuvette
- As low as 5 μL blood sample is used. Ideal when samples are limited such as mice blood samples
Hemoglobin (Hb) is made of four globin chains each carrying a heme group
BioAssay Systems’ QuantiChrom™ Whole Blood Hb kit is based on an improved Triton/NaOH method, in which the hemoglobin is converted into a uniform colored end product. The intensity of color, measured at 570 nm, is directly proportional to hemoglobin concentration in the sample. The optimized formulation substantially reduces interference by substances in the raw samples.
It is carried by red blood cells and transports oxygen from the lungs to the peripheral tissues to maintain the viability of cells. Quantitation of blood hemoglobin has been a key diagnostic parameter for various diseases such as anemia, polycythemia and dehydration. Simple, direct and automation-ready. Procedures for measuring hemoglobin concentration are becoming popular in Research and Drug Discovery.
