Capillary sampling 1. Hand must be warm and relaxed . Use the middle or ring finger. The patient should not be wearing a ring on the finger. 2. Clean and dry puncture site. 3. Gently massage the finger towards the tip 4. Incision should be done on the side of the finger tip

Capillary sampling 5. Discard the first 2- 3 drops 6. Touch blood drop with the tip of the cuvette. Blood drop must fill the cuvette . Fill completely in one continuous process - do not refill! 7. Wipe off the outside of the cuvette

Capillary sampling Incision Blood flow in the fingertip False high (Blood clot) Normal blood flow Correct False low 30–45 seconds Pre-analysis is the key to accurate measurements regardless of measuring system used!

Vanzetti's azide methemogobin method G. Vanzetti, An azide-methemoglobin method for hemoglobin determination in blood Am. J. Lab. & Clin. Med. 67 (1966) 116 Advantages: • Azide methemoglobin is a stable coloured complex • All Hb-variants* are converted * except SulfHb (SHb) • Stable results within 10 min after sample uptake into cuvette, shown in repetitive measurements • High accuracy and precision

1. Sodium desoxycholate dissolves the walls of the red blood cells making hemoglobin available for analysis in the sample. 2. Sodium nitrite oxidises Hemoglobin (Fe2+) to Methhemoglobin (Fe3+) 3. Sodium azid ions and Methhemoglobin form azide methemoglobin, a stable coloured complex 4. This complex is then measured photometrically at 570 nm (and 880 nm for compensation of turbidity)
