Description

Hematin is a crucial biochemical compound, the oxidized form of heme, which serves as the prosthetic group for various hemoproteins. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as a standard and reagent in biochemical research and diagnostic applications, particularly for calibrating assays related to hemoglobin and heme metabolism. This product is essential for laboratories and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, clinical diagnostics, and life science research sectors.

Application

• Biochemical Research Standard: Used as a primary standard for spectrophotometric quantification of heme-containing proteins and enzymes.
• Diagnostic Reagent: Employed in the calibration and development of clinical diagnostic kits for analyzing blood parameters and porphyria.
• Enzyme Activity Studies: Serves as a cofactor or inhibitor in studies of peroxidases, catalases, and other hemoproteins.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Utilized in the synthesis and research of pharmaceutical compounds targeting heme-related pathways.
• Cell Culture & Microbiology: Applied in certain specialized microbial and cell culture media as a growth factor.
• Reference Material: Acts as a high-purity reference material for quality control in related chemical and biological productions.
