Abstract

A preweighed vial of lyophilized methemoglobin (ferrihemoglobin) provides a simple, stable, reproducible standard for colorimetric determination of total hemoglobin concentration in whole blood by the cyanmethemoglobin method. Conversion of the standard and of hemoglobin in blood samples to cyanmethemoglobin is accomplished with Drabkin's solution reconstituted from a dry powder and having an added non-ionic surface active agent (Brij-35). Color intensity is measured at 540 m.mu..
