Research Article Cites HemogloBind™ for Removing Colorimetric Assay Interferences

MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ, July 28, 2016 -- Biotech Support Group reports on a recent research article describing the simplicity and efficiency of their hemoglobin depletion technology for removing colorimetric interferences in measuring cholinesterase activity. The citation is:

Thomas H. Snider, Kevin G. McGarry, Michael C. Babin, David A. Jett, Gennady E. Platoff Jr., and David T. Yeung. Acute Toxicity of Phorate Oxon by oral gavage in the Sprague-Dawley rat. Fundam. Toxicol. Sci. Vol. 3, No.5, 195-204, 2016.

The article describes studies of the oral toxicity of Phorate Oxon with emphasis on gender and age-related effects in rats. The authors used HemogloBind™ as part of the protocol to measure cholinesterase activity. The article states “…80 µl aliquots of whole blood were removed, diluted and treated with HemogloBind™ to remove hemoglobin for later assay to detect cholinesterase activity…

“This is now the 5^th research article validating the removal efficiency of HemogloBind™ for depleting hemoglobin prior to cholinesterase measurements. The colorimetric interferences of hemoglobin are quite common in many enzymatic assays so these studies are consistent in that they all show an exquisite selectivity profile in many different animals” states Swapan Roy, Ph.D., President and Founder of Biotech Support Group.
