The Oxyhemoglobin method, on the other hand, is faster in hemoglobin conversion rate; in
fact, blood hemoglobin is converted instantaneously into oxyhemoglobin. Also, it does not
contain poisonous substance as cyanmethemoglobin method, making the method suitable for
automation. This method, however, is unable to convert methemoglobin into
oxyhemoglobin. Consequently, when a great amount of methemoglobin is contained as in
control blood, lower-than-real values result, although usual human blood poses no
problems.
Non-cyanide hemoglobin analysis method utilizes the advantages of both of the above
methods. Non-cyanide hemoglobin analysis method rapidly converts blood hemoglobin as
the Oxyhemoglobin method and contains no poisonous substance, making it suitable for
automated method.
Being capable of analyzing methemoglobin, this method can accurately analyze control
blood, etc. which contain methemoglobin.
