Scalable manufacturing platform for the production of methemoglobin as a non-oxygen carrying control material in studies of cell-free hemoglobin solutions.
Methemoglobin (metHb) arises from the oxidation of ferrous hemoglobin (HbFe2+, Hb) to ferric hemoglobin (HbFe3+, metHb), which is unable to bind gaseous ligands such as oxygen (O2) and carbon monoxide (CO), and binds to nitric oxide (NO) significantly slower compared to Hb. Therefore, metHb does not...
