How discard hemoglobin from hemolyzed plasma - (May/24/2007 )

Hi,

Do you know a method to discard the hemoglobin from a hemolysed plasma? I need to discard that because for one RIA quantification, I have strange results in most of hemolised plasma samples and they advice about this possible problem. I though to try a microcon to spin and cut off the MW of about 68. The protein of my interest is very small. What do you think and do you have other ideas?

Thanks a lot!
