title: Colorimetry of hemoglobin in plasma with 2,2'-azino-di(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS).
abstract: Hemoglobin in plasma can be determined by the color-developing action of 2,2'-azino-di(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), which is oxidized to a colored form by a peroxidase-like effect of hemoglobin in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Sensitivity, precision, and accuracy are discussed. The calibration curve is linear for hemoglobin concentrations up to 1 g/L; the minimum detectable concentration is 20 mg/L. The within-run precision (CV) was 2.39%, analytical recovery 101.8%. Interference from plasma proteins and lipids was eliminated by centrifuging the reaction mixture before measuring its absorbance at 410 nm.
