Development of control material for hemoglobin analysis
AbstractThere is no certified control material for hemoglobin analysis which has the hemoglobin (Hb)AWashed and dialysed erythrocytes of normal individuals and patients with β-thalassemia trait, HbE trait, β-thalassemia/HbE disease, homozygous HbE were lysed in 5% sucrose solution. The lyophilized hemoglobin control materials were prepared by using a freeze-drying (lyophilization) method. The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of lyophilized hemoglobin was performed after storing at –20°C for 1, 15 and 30 days and for 3 months.The chromatograms of lyophilized hemoglobin control materials showed similar patterns and similar levels of HbA, HbAThe lyophilized hemoglobin could be developed and used as control materials for hemoglobin analysis.
