Importance of Hemoglobin Role of Hemoglobin
Meter
The word hemoglobin comes from the words "heme"
and "globin". Globin is a general term that is
used for globular proteins. The name "heme"
signifies that any single subunit of hemoglobin
is made of a heme embedded in a globular protein.
There exist many "heme" containing hemoglobin
proteins, among which hemoglobin A is the most
commonly known. Hemoglobin, Commonly
abbreviated as Hb, or Haemoglobin is the iron
containing oxygen in red blood cells which
transport metalloproteins. All mammals have
hemoglobin, as it is a vital component in the
blood. It contains globin, apoprotein, and
organic molecules with one atom of iron attached
to each.The gene for the hemoglobin protein can
also sometimes mutate. This Mutation often
results in many diseases, but is most commonly
associated with Thalassemia or Sickle-cell
disease.
Diving a Little More Into Hemoglobin Heme groups
are found in each subunit of a hemoglobin
molecule. The heme group will consist of a
single iron atom which is held in a hetero cyclic
ring, commonly known as a porphyrin. These iron
atoms have oxygen binding properties. This atom
binds itself equally to all four nitrogen in the
center of the hetero cyclic ring, which lies on
one plane. For the fifth and sixth positions,
iron bonds are sometimes formed with a plane
perpendicular to the plane on each side. The
most common hemoglobin in adults is tetramer
which is a hemoglobin containing 4 subunit
proteins called hemoglobin A. Subunits are
similar in structure and approximately the same
size. The molecular weight of each subunit is
about 16,000 Dalton, for a total combined weight
in the tetramer of approximately 64,000
Dalton.There is only one heme present in each
subunit of hemoglobin. This means that the
binding capacity of human hemoglobin for oxygen
is four oxygen molecules.
Introduction to Hemoglobin Meter Hemoglobin
meters are usually used for measuring hemoglobin
hematocrit levels in blood. Normally,
Hemoglobin tests are done to detect the RBC count
for analyzing the severity of anaemia,
hematocrit and others. It is commonly used during
blood donations or while taking important
decisions regarding blood transfusions.
Hemoglobin meters are used to diagnose diseases
that might affect the red blood cells or to know
the hemoglobin levels in the blood. Monitoring
hemoglobin levels is important to check the
anaemic condition in children and adults as
anaemia can be a doorway to several other
diseases.

Importance of Hemoglobin Monitoring Regular
Hemoglobin Levels Monitoring can be easily done
using Hemo Spark, a highly advanced Haemoglobin
meter from Sensa Core. This portable digital
hemoglobin meter has a large LCD display to see
the reading of the hemoglobin levels and a strip
holder for placing the testing strips. Hemo
Spark comes with soft touch keys that have auto
calibration functionality for high performance
of the Meter. It is very easy to handle and
provides instant accurate results within 30
seconds. It has a measuring capacity of
0-25.6gm/dL and has the maximum storage space
for storing the test results.This Meter provides
the most accurate results that are equivalent to
laboratory analyzer equipment and also have
longer battery life. Sensa Core's Hemo Spark
is a POCT Hemoglobin Meter for anemia test at
home that is used for testing of total
hemoglobin in the blood. It is unique among the
most common portable and affordable hemoglobin
meters which are user-friendly and reliable to
measure hemoglobin levels in the blood. Sena
Core's Hemo Spark is a medical instrument used to
determine the hemoglobin content of the blood by
the principle of reflectance photometry
measurement. Hemo Spark is a user-friendly device
and is very convenient for Hemoglobin screening,
which is particularly useful in areas where no
clinical laboratories are available. It is also
useful in emergency situations due to its ease of
use, accuracy and fast delivery of results.
Sensa Core's Hemo Spark provides accurate results
which are acceptable to all major global
standards. Hemo Spark is Trusted by patients
worldwide as an accurate affordable hemoglobin
home test kit doctors as an advanced
hemoglobin tester cum anemia meter machine for
easy analysis of hemoglobin hematocrit in blood
Bottom Line Adequate Hemoglobin levels are
essential for proper functioning of our body. It
is an essential component for transferring
oxygen in the blood from lungs to tissues. So
keeping it in check is very essential. Just be
sure to choose the right one from the wide
varieties available in the market.
