Hemoglobin Electrophoresis in Acrylamide Gel

Abstract

Abstract A method for hemoglobin electrophoresis is described, using acrylamide gel as the supporting media. The advantages and characteristics of this gel are mentioned. Clear and distinct separations of hemoglobin types obtained after 60 minutes electrophoresis in a vertical cell are illustrated. It is felt that the use of this gel affords a simple and rapid method for the detection and quantitation of hemoglobin abnormalities.
