    This study presents a rapid method to measure carboxyhemoglobin levels by analyzing spectral shifts in hemoglobin. The technique is sensitive enough to distinguish between smokers and nonsmokers within 15 minutes.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Clinical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) is a product of hemoglobin metabolism.
    • Accurate and rapid COHb measurement is crucial for clinical assessment, particularly in cases of carbon monoxide exposure and for monitoring smoking status.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for determining carboxyhemoglobin concentration in blood.
    • To utilize spectral analysis for differentiating COHb levels in various populations.

    Main Methods:

    • Conversion of hemoglobin to its reduced form.
    • Measurement of the spectral shift from reduced hemoglobin (peak at 430 nm) to carboxyhemoglobin (peak at 418 nm).
    • Analysis of spectral data using second-derivative spectrum analysis.

    Main Results:

    • The developed method is simple, straightforward, and rapid, yielding results within 15 minutes of sample receipt.
    • The technique demonstrates sufficient sensitivity to differentiate carboxyhemoglobin concentrations between smokers and nonsmokers.
    • Quantification of the zero-order spectral shift provides a reliable measure of COHb.

    Conclusions:

    • This spectral analysis method offers a fast and effective way to quantify carboxyhemoglobin.
    • The technique's sensitivity makes it valuable for clinical applications, including distinguishing smoking status.
    • The procedure provides a practical alternative for routine COHb analysis.
