Product details:
Human HBB ELISA Kit (ab235654) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of HBB protein in cell culture extracts, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human HBB with 34.1 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Hemoglobin also known as Hb or HBB is a protein found in red blood cells. It is a tetramer with a molecular mass of approximately 64.5 kDa composed of two alpha and two beta subunits. This protein is predominantly expressed in erythrocytes where it plays an important role in oxygen transport from the lungs to tissues and facilitates the return of carbon dioxide from tissues to the lungs for exhalation.
Biological function summary
Hemoglobin carries oxygen in blood and acts as a buffer in maintaining blood pH. Within the erythrocytes hemoglobin comprises one of the principal components of these cells each molecule binding up to four oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin exists as a complex with heme groups that directly interact with oxygen allowing hemoglobin to perform its respiratory function efficiently.
Pathways
Hemoglobin is important in the circulatory and respiratory pathways. It works in conjunction with proteins like myoglobin which assists with oxygen storage in muscles and cytochrome c which is important in the electron transport chain. Hemoglobin's function aligns with these pathways to maintain proper oxygen and energy levels throughout the body.
Hemoglobin abnormalities lead to conditions such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia. Sickle cell anemia involves a mutation in the beta-globin gene resulting in deformed red blood cells that hinder oxygen delivery and cause pain due to blockages in blood vessels. Thalassemia results from reduced production of globin chains leading to anemia. These conditions involve aberrations in the hemoglobin or related proteins impacting overall health and requiring clinical management.
