Abstract
THE concentration CHb of hæmoglobin is conventionally measured by dividing the hæmoglobin in gm. per cent by the fractional concentration ρ, allowance being made for incomplete packing in the hæmatocrit tube. If a high-speed hæmatocrit is used, ρ can be found with an error of about ± 1 per cent, and the hæmoglobin concentration can be measured by the cyanmethæmoglobin method with an error of about the same magnitude.
