Q

Function of Hemoglobin?

A

It is the carrier of oxygen from the lungs to the tissue where it readily releases this oxygen to the tissues and then returns to the lungs to combine with more oxygen.

29
Q

Specimen used for acid hematin?

A

Peripheral or unclotted venous blood

30
Q

Instrument used for acid hematin method?

A

Hemoglobinometer

31
Q

Principle of Acid Hematin Method?

A

Hemoglobin is converted to acid with dilute 0.1 N HCL and resulting brownish yellow color produced upon the addition of distilled water with the color standard in the comparator block.

32
Q

Procedure for acid hematin method?

A
  1. Introduce 0.1 N HCL solution up to mark 2 of the Sahli graduated tube.
  2. Using the Sahli pipette, draw blood up to 20 ul.
  3. Dispense the measured volume of the blood into the graduated tube. Gently draw up and down to rinse the pipette.
  4. Thoroughly mix with the use of the stirrer and allow to stand for 5 minutes.
  5. Add distilled water drop by drop, stirring after each addition and compare with the comparator block.
  6. When the resulting solution compares with color standard in the comparator block, get the reading either from the grams or percentage.
