Comparative measuring between fresh and stored Drabkin′s reagent preparations on hemoglobin estimation

Iron- and protein rich diets may boost hemoglobin levels among informal electronic waste recyclers exposed to metals at Agbogbloshie, Ghana

“…First, the Drabkin’s solution was prepared from potassium ferricyanide, potassium cyanide, and sodium bicarbonate. Next, 20 microliters (μL) of blood was mixed with the 5.0 ml of Drabkin’s reagent and allowed to stand for 5 min to develop color ( Pintavirooj et al, 2021 ; Madani et al, 2015 ). The resulting intensity was measured against a known standard at 546 nm using a URIT-810 ® semiautomatic biochemistry analyzer (Thermo Corp., Cambridge, UK) ( Bashir and Derar, 2019 ).…”
