You have been asked to estimate the content of hemoglobin in a test sample. You decide to perform an assay where the concentration of hemoglobin in the test sample can be measured and compare with a hemoglobin standard curve whose range is across 25 to 800 ug/well. The test sample is treated identically (volume assayed is 10 ul) to the standard hemoglobin and gives an absorbance reading of 0.4. By using the kaleidagraph program to analyse the data, the following equation is produced: y = 0.0005 + 0.0018x Using the above information, answer the following questions:
a) what is the amount of hemoglobin in the test sample added to the well expressed in ug?
b) what is the concentration of the hemoglobin in the test sample expressed in g/L?
c) If the red blood cell count expressed as number of cells/L is 5.5 x 1012, what would be the amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell in the test sample? Express the results in picograms/cell.
