| A Nearly all current procedures for measuring hemoglobin involve red-blood-cell (RBC) lysis/dilution and formation of a cyanomethemoglobin compound, which is read by a spectrophotometer at 540 nm. The metHb will react with the cyanide to form cyanomethemoglobin that is bright red, but the sulfHb will remain chocolate brown. |
