Clinical Significance: The Hb Electrophoresis by HPLC test identifies and quantifies hemoglobin variants (HbA, HbA2, HbF, HbS, HbC) to screen for and diagnose thalassemia traits and sickle cell disease.
Why It's Done:
Precisely quantify HbA2 levels to confirm Beta-Thalassemia trait (>3.5%)
Detect elevated HbF in hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin or thalassemia
Confirm or rule out Sickle Cell Trait / Disease via automated cation-exchange HPLC
Prevent catastrophic inherited hemoglobin disorders through early carrier identification

I wanted to visit Colombia’s sacred mountains. But there are some places we cannot go – and some things we cannot know.
