Hemoglobine electrophoresis and dosage
Which test do we use?
Capilllary electrophoresis with the Minicap Flex Piercing (SEBIA)
If abnormal hemoglobin is detected a hemoglobin electrophoresis on agarose gel in a acidic medium will be performed as well. A sickling test will be performed if necessary.
Sampling instructions
1ml whole blood (EDTA or heparin)
At least 250µl whole blood for infants.
Storage conditions
The sample can be stored at 2-8°C for one week at most.
Important advice
Mention the red blood cell indices and the country of origin on the request form.
Dosage of all detected hemoglobin fractions will be reported automatically.
Frequence
