Rapid electrophoresis and quantitation of haemoglobins on cellulose acetate

A J Marengo-Rowe 1
PMCID: PMC473136  PMID: 5844210

Abstract

A rapid and reproducible electrophoretic method for the separation and quantitation of haemoglobins on cellulose acetate is described. The accuracy of the method and its possible sources of error are discussed. The normal range for haemoglobin A2 by this method is 1% to 3% of the total haemoglobin concentration. Blood samples from 32 thalassaemic patients showed haemoglobin A2 values of 3·5% to 7%.
