Cyanmethemoglobin Mtd

31
Q

Principle: When Blood is mixed with a solution of potassium cyanide and potassium ferricyanide, the erythrocytes are lysed thereby producing hemoglobin. Potassium ferricyanide oxifizes hemoglobin into methemoglobin that combines with potassium cyanide to produce hemiglobincyanide (cyanmethemoglobin) whose absorbance is measured at 540 nm against the reagant blank.

A

Cellulose Acetate Electrophoresis (pH 8.4 8.6)

53
Q

A small quantity of red cell hemolysate is placed on the cellulose acetate membrane between the center and the cathode. An electrical field is created in the chamber through the use of a power supply.

Cellulose Acetate Electrophoresis (pH 8.4 8.6)

54
Q

Hemoglobin molecules have a net NEGATIVE charg e at alkaline pH, and therefore migrate towards the anode.

A

Cellulose Acetate Electrophoresis (pH 8.4 8.6)

55
Q

Owing to the variations in amino acid content of different Hbs, the net charge of each varies and this determines their rate of mobility in the electrical field.

Citrate Agar El ectrophoresis (pH 6.0 6.2)

58
Q

Hbs are separated based on the interactions among Hb variants, agar and citrate buffer ions in addition to the altered electrical charge of the various Hbs at acid pH.
