Comparison of haemoglobin F detection by the acid elution test, flow cytometry and high‐performance liquid chromatography in maternal blood samples analysed for fetomaternal haemorrhage

Abstract

To quantitate FMH, measurement of HbF using FC was more sensitive and accurate than AE or HPLC. HbF FC is the method of choice when results from routine investigation using AE or standard anti-D FC are discrepant or when there is maternal and fetal RhD compatibility.
