Description

Hemoglobin Grady is a specific, well-characterized variant of hemoglobin, a vital oxygen-transporting protein found in red blood cells. This product is essential for biochemical research, diagnostic development, and as a critical reference material in hematology and clinical studies. It is particularly valuable for scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) sectors who require high-purity, consistent biological standards.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard in studies of hemoglobin structure, function, and oxygen-binding kinetics.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Serves as a key calibrator and control material in hematology analyzers and point-of-care testing devices.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in research for blood substitutes and oxygen therapeutics.
• Clinical Laboratory Reference: Acts as a quality control material to ensure accuracy in hemoglobinopathy testing and related assays.
• Educational & Training Kits: Incorporated into laboratory teaching kits for medical and life science education.

Quality Control

Our Hemoglobin Grady is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems. Each batch is characterized for identity, purity, and functional integrity using advanced analytical techniques. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing specifications for critical parameters such as spectral purity, methemoglobin content, and endotoxin levels, ensuring it meets the exacting standards required for research and diagnostic applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For short-term use, aliquoting is recommended to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Handle under appropriate laboratory conditions.
