Hemoglobin variant detection from dried blood specimens by high performance liquid chromatography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The convenience of dried blood filter paper specimens for genetic screening programs has prompted us to test the stability of these specimens for hemoglobin identification by cation exchange high performance liquid chromatography. This report shows that identification of Hb AA, Hb AF, Hb AS, Hb FAS, Hb AJ, Hb FJ, Hb EF, and Hb SS can be achieved by high performance liquid chromatography even after six weeks of storage at room temperature. Also, accurate hemoglobin quantitation can be obtained from the same samples within three weeks of storage at room temperature. The combination of dried blood samples and high performance liquid chromatography provides an accurate system to screen for hemoglobinopathies, even after long periods of sample storage at ambient conditions.

Interference with hemoglobin A(1C) determination by the hemoglobin variant Shelby.
Hemoglobin variant carrier status was found in a 46-year-old African American man following detection of a falsely elevated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) by ionexchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC, VARIANT A1c, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA). Additional analysis of the hemoglobin variant using the Beta Thal Short program (Bio-Rad) revealed an unknown peak with a retention time of...
متن کامل17-hydroxyprogesterone quantification in dried blood spots by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy
Measurement of 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) in daily dried blood spot profiles via radioimmunoassay is a convenient and accepted method for monitoring of glucocorticoid therapy in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. Characteristics of this method that serve to limit its clinical usefulness include its lack of specificity for 17-OHP, and a relatively high limit of detection. Mass Spectroscopy is ...
متن کاملSimple and sensitive high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of the apigenin from dried powder of Cosmos bipinnatus, Apium graveolens and Petroselinum crispum
Apigenin is best known as an irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase (MAO), an intracellular enzyme associated with the outer membrane of mitochondria. The purpose of this study is to establish a reliable and quick method for the assignment of Apigenin in Cosmos bipinnatus, Apium graveolens and Petroselinum crispum by high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-U...
متن کاملDetection of α-thalassaemia in neonates on cord blood and dried blood spot samples by capillary electrophoresis.
INTRODUCTION Haemoglobin Bart's (Hb Bart's) level is associated with α-thalassaemia traits in neonates, enabling early diagnosis of α-thalassaemia. The study aimed to detect and quantify the Hb Bart's using Cord Blood (CB) and CE Neonat Fast Hb (NF) progammes on fresh and dried blood spot (DBS) specimen respectively by capillary electrophoresis (CE). METHODS Capillarys Hemoglobin (E) Kit (for...

Dried blood spots (DBS), collected as part of the newborn screening program (NSP) in the USA, is a valuable resource for studies on environmental chemical exposures and associated health outcomes in newborns. Nevertheless, determination of concentrations of environmental chemicals in DBS requires assays with great sensitivity, as the typical volume of blood available on a DBS with 16-mm diamete...
