Set of reagents determining the content of total haemoglobin

摘要

The invention relates to reagents and methods for determining the content of total haemoglobin in a blood sample or a sample derived from blood. The invention proposes: a set of reagents for determining the content of total haemoglobin in a blood sample or a sample derived from blood, comprising a haemolysis reagent which is an acidic solution having a pH between 0.5 and 5.0, preferably between 0.5 to 3.0, and a green chromophore forming reagent which is a basic solution having a pH between 7.0 and 12.0, preferably between 9.0 and 11.5, and containing a non-ionic detergent and/or an anionic detergent. a method of determining the content of total haemoglobin in a blood sample or a sample derived from blood which uses the above set of reagents.
