AffiELISA® Human carboxyhemoglobin HbCO ELISA Detection Kit
The AffiELISA® Human Carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) Kit is an advanced assay designed for the ultra-high sensitivity detection of carboxyhemoglobin levels in human samples. Carboxyhemoglobin is formed when carbon monoxide (CO) binds to hemoglobin in the blood, and its quantification is crucial in assessing exposure to CO.
This kit employs an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) approach, leveraging specific antibodies designed to recognize and measure the concentration of carboxyhemoglobin present in blood samples. The ultra-high sensitivity of this assay allows for accurate detection and quantification of even trace amounts of carboxyhemoglobin, providing valuable insights into:
- Environmental Exposure: Assessing CO exposure in individuals due to environmental factors such as pollution, occupational hazards, or smoking. This data aids in understanding health risks associated with CO exposure and implementing preventive measures.
- Clinical Diagnostics: Supporting medical professionals in diagnosing CO poisoning and monitoring its severity by measuring carboxyhemoglobin levels in patient samples.
- Forensic Investigations: Providing crucial data in forensic pathology by determining CO exposure levels in cases involving suspected CO poisoning.
- Health Monitoring: Conducting health screenings and periodic assessments for individuals at risk of elevated CO exposure, enabling early intervention and preventive healthcare measures.
- Research Studies: Facilitating scientific research focused on understanding the effects of CO exposure on human health and its potential association with various diseases or health conditions.
The AffiELISA® Human Carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) Kit's ultra-high sensitivity and accuracy in detecting carboxyhemoglobin levels make it an indispensable tool in various domains, including clinical diagnostics, environmental health assessments, forensic investigations, and research studies related to CO exposure and its impact on human health.

Human carboxyhemoglobin Background
Carboxyhemoglobin is a compound formed when carbon monoxide (CO) binds with hemoglobin in red blood cells. This binding reduces the blood's capacity to carry oxygen, leading to oxygen deprivation in tissues. Elevated levels of carboxyhemoglobin can result from exposure to carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels.
Monitoring carboxyhemoglobin levels is crucial in assessing CO exposure. The AffiELISA® Human Carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) Kit provides a specialized method to detect and quantify carboxyhemoglobin levels with high sensitivity. This assay is essential in various fields:
- Environmental Exposure Assessment: Helps in evaluating and quantifying CO exposure due to occupational hazards, smoking, or environmental pollution, aiding in preventive measures and understanding associated health risks.
- Forensic Investigations: Assists forensic scientists in determining CO exposure levels in cases related to suspected CO poisoning, contributing to cause-of-death determination.
- Research and Health Studies: Supports scientific research to comprehend the impact of CO exposure on human health, including potential links to diseases or health conditions.
The AffiELISA® Human Carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) Kit offers a precise and sensitive method for assessing carboxyhemoglobin levels in human samples, aiding in clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, forensic analysis, and health-related research. This detailed analysis contributes to a better understanding of the health risks associated with CO exposure.
