Haemoglobin Detection with pocH-100i

Haemoglobin

Haemoglobin is the red blood dye Chemically, haemoglobin is an iron-

containing protein It is produced in the erythroblasts of the bone

marrow Haemoglobin is present in the erythrocytes The haemoglobin concentration is directly

linked to the HCT and the RBC concentration Haemoglobin is responsible for transport of

oxygen and CO2

Haemoglobin – Reference Ranges

Conversion factors: g/dl mmol/L x 0.6206mmol/L g/dL x 1.611

Erythrocytes are lysed in a dilution of 1:500 1. Reaction step:

HBG with the bound Fe2+ is oxidised by the Potassium hexocyanoferrate (K3(Fe(CN)6) to become Methemoglobin (with Fe3+).

2. Reaction step:Methemoglobin reacts with Potassium cyanide (KCN), building the red and stable Cyan hemoglobin-complex with a maximum in absorption at 546 nm.

The extinction at the maximum of absorption is directly proportional to the Hemoglobin content of the whole blood

Haemoglobin Reference Method (DIN 58931)

Haemoglobin Detection History

Identical measurement principle as the reference method.

Measurement in the photometer under the same conditions.

Also the reaction conditions are identical. Cyanide containing reagent for haemolysis.

Semi automated systems = QuicklyserFully automated systems= Stromatolyser-C

Disposal of cyanide containing waste needs a permission.

pocH-pack L (II) is used for the haemoglobin and the leukocyte analysis

pocH-pack L(II) contains quaternary ammonium salts (MTAC and LTAC)

Very good correlations between the Sysmex method and the reference method

Haemoglobin – Cyanide-free Method

1. Lysis of RBC by quaternary ammonium salts

2. Change of conformity

3. Oxidation of Fe2+ at the haeme group (Fe2+ Fe3+)

Hematocrit – Reference Ranges

Volume determination of the corpuscular particles in the blood

Normally, equivalent to the pure erythrocyte mass Blood is aspirated into special capillaries, which

contain dried heparin The capillaries are sealed and put into a dedicated

centrifuge In the high-turning centrifuge the non-coagulating

blood is separated into its solid and fluid parts using the different specific weights of plasma and blood particles

Advantages:no calibration of the counts

DC Detection Method

Absolute counting

Counting of particles in a defined volume

Counting of particles per time unit

Absolute Counting Relative Counting

Cell concentration is determined by a known sample volume and a known dilution

The counting rate is determined indirectly by a reference sample. A similar behaviour of sample and calibrator - resulting in comparable results - is assumed.

No calibration of the counting results needed

Calibration of the counting results is mandatory.

The smear clearly shows that platelets are aggregating. The WBC histogram shows a peak in the ghost area ( ) , while the PLT histogram shows a wide distribution. Although these large particles usually affect the leukocyte counts, the leukocytes distribution is well separated from the ghost area on the WBC histogram, probably without any effect of small particles in the ghost area. There is no WL Alarm given .

This sample contains larger aggregation clusters as shown in the smear. These clusters are considered to affect the leukocyte counts, because the distribution curve on the WBC histogram intersects the discriminator line between the ghost and the Small cell ratio at a high point, and the WL flags are given. The PLT histogram suggests the presence of large particles. Analysis of a fresh blood sample is required to obtain correct platelet values.

Case: lyse resistance RBC• Histogram shows a pattern typically seen in insufficient lysing of RBC• On the WBC histogram the distribution curve intersects the WBC lower discrimination line at an abnormally high point. The WL flag is output and asterisk marks are put to the WBC value, warning of low reliability of the data• This is frequently seen with blood samples taken from hepatic disease patients or very early newborns. These problems are solved by diluting the sample or replacing plasma with cellpack (blood cell washing)
