An improved microchromatographic procedure for separating HbA2 from HbS for the purpose of quantitation. 1979

S Nochumson, and L M Meyer

A microchromatographic method for separating hemoglobin A2 from hemoglobin S and their subsequent quantitation on DEAE-cellulose has been improved. The new procedure is more versatile, since the same system can be used when hemoglobin S is present or absent in the sample without changing to a longer column or another buffer system. Also, the technic is less sensitive to small changes in pH of buffers or resin than are other procedures.

D006441	Hemoglobin A	Normal adult human hemoglobin. The globin moiety consists of two alpha and two beta chains.
D006451	Hemoglobin, Sickle	An abnormal hemoglobin resulting from the substitution of valine for glutamic acid at position 6 of the beta chain of the globin moiety. The heterozygous state results in sickle cell trait, the homozygous in sickle cell anemia.
