[Demonstration of hemoglobin using the porphyrin test (author's transl)]. 1977

W Schwerd

The demonstration of hemoglobin after its transformation into Porphyrin is specific and extremely sensitive. It is possible to detect amounts as small as a microgram. The use of sulphuric acid as a reagent is superior to the hydrochloricthioglycol acid method. After obtaining a speciman from a blood stain (usually through soaking) it is recommended that it be concentrated by allowing the speciman once again to dry out. Prejudicial effects due to the extreme sensitivity of this test are therefore avoided.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008832 Microchemistry The development and use of techniques and equipment to study or perform chemical reactions, with small quantities of materials, frequently less than a milligram or a milliliter.
D011166 Porphyrins A group of compounds containing the porphin structure, four pyrrole rings connected by methine bridges in a cyclic configuration to which a variety of side chains are attached. The nature of the side chain is indicated by a prefix, as uroporphyrin, hematoporphyrin, etc. The porphyrins, in combination with iron, form the heme component in biologically significant compounds such as hemoglobin and myoglobin. Porphyrin
D001801 Blood Stains Antigenic characteristics and DNA fingerprint patterns identified from blood stains. Their primary value is in criminal cases. Blood Stain,Stain, Blood,Stains, Blood
D006454 Hemoglobins The oxygen-carrying proteins of ERYTHROCYTES. They are found in all vertebrates and some invertebrates. The number of globin subunits in the hemoglobin quaternary structure differs between species. Structures range from monomeric to a variety of multimeric arrangements. Eryhem,Ferrous Hemoglobin,Hemoglobin,Hemoglobin, Ferrous

D006851 Hydrochloric Acid A strong corrosive acid that is commonly used as a laboratory reagent. It is formed by dissolving hydrogen chloride in water. GASTRIC ACID is the hydrochloric acid component of GASTRIC JUICE. Hydrogen Chloride,Muriatic Acid,Acid, Hydrochloric,Acid, Muriatic,Chloride, Hydrogen
D013464 Sulfuric Acids Inorganic and organic derivatives of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The salts and esters of sulfuric acid are known as SULFATES and SULFURIC ACID ESTERS respectively. Acids, Sulfuric
