Overview
For quantitative determination of hemoglobin and evaluation of drug effects on hemoglobin metabolism. The assay uses OD400nm for signal readout. Compatible sample input includes Blood, serum, plasma, urine etc. Typical stated assay timing is 5 min.
Key elements and design rationale
- Readout format: OD400nm supports plate-based signal acquisition and consistent comparison across matched samples.
- Sample compatibility: The stated sample scope includes Blood, serum, plasma, urine etc, which is useful when aligning matrix type with calibration and control design.
- Analytical range context: The supplied specifications include a stated detection limit of 0.9 mg/dL for interpreting low-signal samples.
- Feature emphasis: Sensitive and accurate. Linear detection range 0.9 – 200 mg /dL hemoglobin in 96-well plate assay.
Additional feature notes highlight Simple and high-throughput. The “mix-and-read” procedure involves addition of a single working 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; Safety. Reagents do not contain any toxic components, e.g. hexacyanoferrate(III) and potassium cyanide used in Drabkin’s reagent. Available format information for this listing includes 250 Tests.
Biological background
This product is centered on measurement of hemoglobin within the matrices described for the assay. In practice, datasets from this type of format are typically interpreted by comparing relative signal, activity, or abundance across matched control and experimental groups rather than relying on a single value in isolation. Careful alignment of sample matrix, incubation window, and calibration strategy is important when comparing results across plates, operators, or study days.
More details
HEMOGLOBIN (Hb) is made of four globin chains each carrying a heme group. It is carried by red blood cells and transports oxygen from the lungs to the peripheral tissues to maintain the viability of cells. Quantitation of blood hemoglobin has been a key diagnostic parameter for various diseases such as anemia, polycythemia and dehydration. Simple, direct and automation-ready procedures for measuring hemoglobin concentration are becoming popular in Research and Drug Discovery. BioAssay Systems QuantiChrom™ hemoglobin assay kit is based on an improved Triton/NaOH method, in which the hemoglobin is converted into a uniform colored end product. The intensity of color, measured at 400 nm, is directly proportional to hemoglobin concentration in the sample. The optimized formulation exhibits high sensitivity and is ideal for measuring hemolysis in low hemoglobin samples (e.g. serum and plasma).
Detection method
Colorimetric (OD 400 nm).
Detection limit and analytical sensitivity
Reported detection limit: 0.9 mg/dL.
Procedures and timing
Stated procedure or timing information: 5 min.
Research relevance and current trends
- Plate-based quantification and side-by-side group comparison remain central use cases for this assay format.
- The product notes emphasize multi-sample throughput, making it relevant for screening-oriented and larger batch comparison studies.
- The description supports intervention-focused study designs in which researchers compare baseline and perturbed conditions.
Common research applications
- Quantify hemoglobin in blood, serum, plasma, urine by OD400 nm readout.
- Compare treatment or phenotype groups using matched blood, serum, plasma, urine handling.
- Monitor time-course or pre/post changes in blood, serum, plasma, urine across study conditions.
Interpretation is usually strongest when signal changes are assessed alongside matrix-matched controls, replicate agreement, and the assay's stated analytical window.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Matrix composition, background signal, and sample handling can influence apparent response; compare like-with-like whenever possible.
- Use appropriate blanks, controls, and replicate wells to distinguish biological differences from plate, reagent, or handling variability.
The procedure mentions that the Standard is to be diluted with water and NO reagent addition. Is the standard already converted cyanohemiglobin? How does this standard reflect OD differences after different incubation times? Wouldn’t you want to create a standard curve for extrapolation of your sample values?
Our assay does not use the cyanohemoglobin method. The “Standard” is not hemoglobin itself as hemoglobin is unstable. We are using a dye at a concentration that gives the same OD reading as the freshly prepared hemoglobin at 100 mg/dL. Therefore when you apply the “Standard”, there is no need to use the reagent.
The changes in OD with incubation time is small if any, but we recommend reading the OD values at 5 min after adding the reagent. The standard curve shown in the protocol was read using a fresh pure hemoglobin preparation and shows that the assay is linear up to 200 mg/dL hemoglobin. Thus there is no need to construct a full standard curve. We recommend using the blank and 100 mg/dL Calibrator to calculate the sample hemoglobin concentration. As long as hemoglobin values are below 200 mg/dL, there is no concern about non-linearity. If it is > 200 mg/dL, we recommend diluting the sample in water and repeat the assay, multiply the value by the dilution factor.
Why can you determine the concentration of hemoglobin in plasma using the kit? I was wondering why the color of plasma (yellow) would not interfere with the measurement of the absorbance at 400 nm. Do you have any data to show that plasma does not interfere with the measurement?
The yellow color of serum is caused mostly by hemoglobin and bilirubin and our assay does not distinguish between the two. However, normal bilirubin levels will add only a relatively minor positive bias which will not elevate the reading above normal hemoglobin levels in serum (< 10 mg/dL). This kit is suitable to test for elevated hemoglobin levels in serum due to hemolysis. If you need to accurately measure the exact hemoglobin concentration in normal serum samples, you probably should take into account the background added by bilirubin. For such applications other assay kits may be more suitable.
