    Abstract:
    Capillary electrophoresis was evaluated for separation of hemoglobin species associated with alpha-thalassemias, and for identification of hemoglobin variants commonly found in the same human populations. Separation of hemoglobins was achieved using capillary isoelectric focusing with chemical mobilization; visible-wavelength absorbance detection was used to identify hemoglobins against a background of nonheme-containing proteins. This technique could easily differentiate hemoglobins Bart's and H (associated with alpha-thalassemias) from hemoglobin variants. Analysis of globin chains derived from intact hemoglobins was performed by free zone capillary electrophoresis under denaturing conditions. This technique was useful for distinguishing Hb Bart's and Hb H, and for confirming the identity of hemoglobin variants.
