What does hemoglobin saturation mean?
The percentage of hemoglobin binding sites that are carrying oxygen.
What 2 things are measured by a pulse oximeter?
Hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO₂)
Pulse rate (heart rate in bpm)
What is the normal range of hemoglobin saturation?
96-98 %
Would hemoglobin saturation be higher or lower in arterial blood compared to venous blood?
Higher in arterial blood, because it carries oxygen from the lungs to tissues. Lower in venous blood, because oxygen has been delivered to tissues.
Using a pulse oximeter, record your:
Hb saturation: % (check if within 95-100%) Pulse rate: _ bpm
What is hematocrit (Hct)?
The percentage of whole blood that is red blood cells.
When blood is spun in a centrifuge:
Air: on the top
Plasma: below Air
Red blood cells: on the bottom
Buffy coat: in the middle, thin layer
What is in the buffy coat?
White blood cells (WBCs) and platelets
Normal Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in women?

Normal Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in men?
14/18 g/dL

What does a spectrophotometer measure?

Most abundant blood type in the human population: O+
Least abundant blood type in the human population: AB−
Could you give type A blood to a person with type B blood? No
Why: The recipient’s plasma contains anti-A antibodies, which would attack the A antigens on the donated blood, causing a transfusion reaction.
Fill in the blanks.
Patient A
Anti-A: No clumping → No A antigen
Anti-B: No clumping → No B antigen
Anti-D: Clumping → Rh present
✅ Blood type = O+
Patient B
Anti-A: Clumping → A antigen present
Anti-B: No clumping → No B antigen
Anti-D: Clumping → Rh present
✅ Blood type = A+
Patient C
Anti-A: Clumping → A antigen present
Anti-B: Clumping → B antigen present
Anti-D: Clumping → Rh present
✅ Blood type = AB+
Patient D
Anti-A: Clumping → A antigen present
Anti-B: No clumping → No B antigen
Anti-D: No clumping → No Rh
✅ Blood type = A-
Fill in the blanks
Total length of blood: This is the full length of the column in the tube. From the image, it looks like the entire tube is your reference, so we can call it 100% (or measure in mm if given).
Length of red cells: The red portion at the bottom represents the packed red blood cells. Visually, it looks like about 40% of the total blood length.
Hematocrit reading: Hematocrit is the percentage of red blood cells in total blood. From the image, Hematocrit = 40%.
Is this within normal range for women? Normal hematocrit range for women is roughly 36–48%, so yes, 40% is within normal range.
Fill in the blanks
Total length of blood: Entire column of blood in the tube (red + yellow = 100%).
Length of red cells: The red portion at the bottom of the tube (about 30% of the total length).
Hematocrit reading: 30%.
Is this reading within normal range for women? No, the normal hematocrit range for women is approximately 36–48%, so 30% is below normal (indicating possible anemia).
Fill in the blanks
Total length of blood: Entire column of blood in the tube (red + yellow = 100%).
Length of red cells: The red portion at the bottom of the tube, approximately 60% of the total length.
Hematocrit reading: 60%.
Is this reading within normal range for men? ❌ No, the normal hematocrit range for men is about 40–54%, so 60% is above normal (which could indicate polycythemia or dehydration).
Fill in the blanks
Total length of blood: Entire column of blood in the tube (red + yellow = 100%).
Length of red cells: The red portion at the bottom of the tube, approximately 35–40% of the total length.
Hematocrit reading: About 38%.
Is this reading within normal range for men? ❌ No, the normal hematocrit range for men is approximately 41–53%, so 38% is slightly below normal (could suggest mild anemia or low red blood cell count).
Find the absorbance reading for this 5 gram sample.
Result 1 - Absorbance @ 540 nm: .14 Hb Concentration 5gm/100ml
Find the absorbance readings in this 10 gram sample.
Result 2 - Absorbance @ 540 nm: .24 Hb Concentration 10gm/100ml
Find the absorbance reading in this 15 gram sample.
Result 3 - Absorbance @ 540 nm: .33 Hb Concentration 15gm/100ml
How would you graph the 3 samples of absorbance?
You would plot the absorbance values against the corresponding sample weights, creating a line or scatter plot to visualize the relationship between absorbance and Hb concentration.
