Answer: With Sahli’s method, you can determine how much haemoglobin is in the blood.
Haemoglobin is the central part of blood that carries oxygen to all aspects of our bodies.
William Gowers, a neurologist, was the first to find this method.
The parts of the Sahil haemoglobin meter are a tube, a stirrer, a pipette, and a comparator.
Blood is mixed with N/10 hydrochloric acid. This is the basic idea behind this method.
The red blood cells that carried the haemoglobin changed it into the dark-coloured acid haematin.
The dark substance is mixed with water until it is the same colour as the brown glass used for comparison.
At last, the amount of haemoglobin is figured out and written as a percentage.
