A micromodification of the Drabkin hemoglobin assay for measuring plasma hemoglobin in the range of 5 to 2000 mg/dl

Abstract

A micromodification of the Drabkins cyanide method has been developed to measure plasma hemoglobin in the range of 5 to 2000 mg/dl. With care the assay can be used above and below this range. The assay is accurate, precise (CV < 1%), fast and simple when compared to other procedures and has a stable end point. It can be applied to clinical samples, stored blood, or hemoglobin solutions infused into test animals. © 1981.
