General description

Hemoglobin (Hb) is an iron-containing metalloprotein that serves as the primary means of oxygen transport in vertebrates. Hemoglobin is primarily found in red blood cells where it makes up to 97% of the cell′s dry content. Hemoglobin can also be found in other tissues where it serves as an antioxidant. Alterations in blood hemoglobin levels occurs in many diseases such as anemia and polycytheima.

Application

Hemoglobin Assay Kit has been used to measure the concentration of hemoglobin.

Features and Benefits

Compatible with high-throughput handling systems. Can be adapted for use with cuvettes.

Suitability

Suitable for the detection of hemoglobinin a variety of samples such as blood, serum, plasma, and urine. This kit can be used to study the effects of various compounds on hemoglobin metabolism and levels.

Principle

This assay is based on the improved Triton™[NP1]/NaOH method in which hemoglobin is converted to a colorimetric product measured at 400 nm. This assay has a linear detection range between 0.9-200 mg/dL in the 96 well plate assay.
