2. Hemoglobin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin

   Initial oxidation to the ferric (Fe 3+) state without oxygen converts hemoglobin into "hemiglobin" or methemoglobin, which cannot bind oxygen. Hemoglobin in normal red blood cells is protected by a reduction system to keep this from happening. Nitric oxide is capable of converting a small fraction of hemoglobin to methemoglobin in red blood cells.

3. Hemoglobin electrophoresis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_electrophoresis

   The test uses the principles of gel electrophoresis to separate out the various types of hemoglobin and is a type of native gel electrophoresis.After the sample has been treated to release the hemoglobin from the red cells, it is introduced into a porous gel (usually made of agarose or cellulose acetate) and subjected to an electrical field, most commonly in an alkaline medium.

4. Complete blood count - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_blood_count

   A complete blood count (CBC), also known as a full blood count (FBC), is a set of medical laboratory tests that provide information about the cells in a person's blood.The CBC indicates the counts of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets, the concentration of hemoglobin, and the hematocrit (the volume percentage of red blood cells).

5. Blood substitute - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_substitute

   A blood substitute (also called artificial blood or blood surrogate) is a substance used to mimic and fulfill some functions of biological blood. It aims to provide an alternative to blood transfusion , which is transferring blood or blood-based products from one person into another.

6. Kastle–Meyer test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kastle–Meyer_test

   The Kastle–Meyer test is a presumptive blood test, first described in 1903, in which the chemical indicator phenolphthalein is used to detect the possible presence of hemoglobin. It relies on the peroxidase -like activity of hemoglobin in blood to catalyze the oxidation of phenolphthalin (the colorless reduced form of phenolphthalein) into ...

7. Fingerstick - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerstick

   Lipid profile – Fingerstick testing may be used to find abnormalities in blood lipid (such as cholesterol and triglycerides) concentrations. Mononucleosis – Fingerstick testing can be used to test for mononucleosis. Hemoglobin levels – Fingerstick testing of hemoglobin is a quick screening procedure to ensure a blood or plasma donor has ...
