For quantitative determination of hemoglobin (Hb) in whole blood. Key Features: Safety. Non-hazardous. Reagents do not contain any toxic components, e.g. hexacyanoferrate (III) and potassium cyanide used in Drabkin's reagent. Simple and high-throughput. The "mix-and-read" procedure involves addition of a single reagent and reading the optical density. Can be readily automated as a high-throughput assay in 96-well plates for thousands of samples per day. Versatility. Assays can be executed in 96-well plate or cuvette. High sensitivity. As low as 5 µ L sample is used. Ideal when samples are limited such as mice blood samples. Method: OD570nm. Samples: Whole blood samples. Species: All. Procedure: Assay takes 5 min. Kit size: 250 tests. Detection limit: 0.2 g/dL.
