Description

Hemoglobin Genova is a highly purified, globular protein derived from bovine or porcine sources, primarily used as a biochemical reagent and diagnostic component. This product is critical for research and development in life sciences, offering a reliable and consistent source of oxygen-carrying heme protein. It is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) industries who require a high-quality, standardized protein for their processes.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Assay Development: Used as a standard or key reagent in enzymatic studies, oxygen-binding experiments, and metabolic pathway research.
• In-Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) Kits: Serves as a critical component in the formulation of controls, calibrators, and reagents for clinical chemistry analyzers and blood gas testing systems.
• Cell Culture & Hematology: Employed in specialized cell culture media as an oxygen carrier or in studies simulating blood conditions.
• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Acts as a purity reference material for quality control in the production of related therapeutic proteins or hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs).
• Educational & Laboratory Demonstrations: Provides a practical tool for teaching protein chemistry, spectroscopy, and ligand-binding principles in academic settings.
• Food Science Research: Utilized in studies related to meat colorimetry, pigment chemistry, and food quality analysis.
