Development of hemoglobin typing control materials for laboratory investigation of thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies

Abstract

The lyophilized Hb typing control materials could be developed and used as control materials for investigation of thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies.

Efficiency of lyophilized hemolysate control material in proficiency testing program for G6PD deficiency screening in Thailand

“…The materials were prepared according to protocols reported in the previous studies. 6,7 G6PD status of the materials was also tested by FST before storing at −20°C.…”

Capillary electrophoresis for the screening and diagnosis of inherited hemoglobin disorders. Ready for prime time?

“…In the second article published in this issue of the journal, Pornprasert et al developed specific quality control materials for the analysis of some forms of thalassemia and Hb variants that are commonly observed in South-East Asia [9]. Interestingly, the Hb typing control materials could be stored and then accurately analyzed by many commercially available techniques, including HPLC and CZE, thus representing a valuable resource for internal and external quality assurance in the diagnostics of hemoglobinopathies.…”
