Overview

Lee Biosolutions produces and supplies human RBC Hemoglobin (Hb) for use as an indicator to measure the severity of chronic bleeding in anemia or polycythemia conditions in medical research and clinical diagnostic manufacturing.

Why is testing hemoglobin so important? Higher than normal levels may result in dehydration, excess production of red blood cells in the bone marrow, severe lung disease or other severe conditions. Lower than normal levels may lead to anemia that can result in iron deficiency, B12 and folate deficiency, inherited hemoglobin defect, cirrhosis of the lever, excessive destruction of red bloods cells.

Hemoglobin the main component of red blood cells, is a protein that carries oxygen away from the lungs and carbon dioxide back to the lungs. A molecule consists of 2 pairs of peptide (alpha and beta globins) chains and four heme groups, each with one atom of iron. At a normal oxygen tension of 100 mmHg in the blood vessels of the lungs, 95-98% of hemoglobin is combined with oxygen. In the tissues further from the lungs, where the oxygen tension is much lower, the oxygen readily separates from hemoglobin.
