A rapid spectroscopic method for (A) the quantitative determination of haemoglobin in blood and (B) its application for the quantitative estimation of haemoglobin in milk, urine, serum or plasma and faeces’, Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Science and Animal Industry, vol. 14, nos. 1 & 2, pp. 451-458.0330-2465http://hdl.handle.net/2263/59414The articles have been scanned in colour with a HP Scanjet 5590; 300dpi.

The haematin is converted into pyridine haemochromogen and a comparison of the intensity of the 555 absorption band made against a known standard. Haemoglobin can be quantitatively estimated in milk, urine, serum, plasma or faeces.en© 1940 ARC - Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). © 2017 University of Pretoria.
