TY - JOUR T1 - Carboxyhaemoglobin: a possible reference material for haemoglobin assay. JF - Journal of Clinical Pathology JO - J Clin Pathol SP - 292 LP - 295 DO - 10.1136/jcp.35.3.292 VL - 35 IS - 3 AU - J M Rideout AU - A Louderback Y1 - 1982/03/01 UR - http://jcp.bmj.com/content/35/3/292.abstract N2 - The inter- and intralaboratory quality control of haemoglobin estimation in remote laboratories requires a more rugged control haemolysate than is commercially available. The stabilities of oxyhaemoglobin and carboxyhaemoglobin forms of an ethanediol-containing haemolysate were studied over a three-year period. From the results obtained, carboxyhaemoglobin under nitrogen is proposed as a possible candidate reference material for haemoglobin assay. ER -
