Standardization in Abnormal Hemoglobin Detection. An Evaluation of Hemoglobin Electrophoresis Kits

[摘要] Three widely used commercial hemoglobin electrophoresis kits were studied to ascertain specificity, accuracy, precision, and characteristics of product information. Two hundred and ninety-six hemoglobin samples were used to evaluate each kit. Except for poor separation of hemoglobin F by one kit, all three kits gave generally satisfactory results. We give specific recommendations for improving these kits and for laboratory quality-control practices.
