- Variant
- Haemoglobins
- –
- A
- Guide
- to
- Identification
- is
- based
- on
- the
- premise
- that
- any
- single
- diagnostic
- technique
- offers
- only
- a
- very
- provisional
- identification
- of
- a
- variant
- haemoglobin.
- In
- routine
- diagnostic
- practice
- two
- techniques
- are
- needed
- as
- a
- minimum,
- with
- the
- results
- being
- interpreted
- in
- the
- light
- of
- the
- clinical
- details,
- blood
- count,
- blood
- film
- and
- ethnic
- origin.
- This
- book
- covers
- 150
- normal
- and
- variant
- haemoglobins
- that
- have
- been
- studied
- and
- carefully
- documented.Variant
- Haemoglobins
- has
- four
- introductory
- chapters
- followed
- by
- an
- invaluable
- atlas.
- The
- introductory
- chapters
- coverThe
- atlas
- section
- comprises
- 170
- full
- colour
- pages
- in
- which
- each
- variant
- haemoglobin
- or
- combination
- of
- haemoglobins
- is
- illustrated
- by
- cellulose
- acetate
- electrophoresis
- at
- alkaline
- pH,
- agarose
- gel
- electrophoresis
- at
- acid
- pH,
- isoelectric
- focusing
- and
- one
- or
- more
- HPLC
- traces.
- For
- ease
- of
- reference,
- the
- atlas
- pages
- are
- arranged
- according
- to
- the
- retention
- time
- of
- each
- haemoglobin
- on
- HPLC,
- this
- becoming
- increasingly
- the
- primary
- technique
- employed
- in
- haemoglobin
- identification.Bringing
- a
- mix
- of
- necessary
- scientific
- expertise
- and
- clinical
- knowledge,
- each
- author
- has
- more
- than
- 30
- years
- experience
- in
- the
- diagnosis
- of
- variant
- haemoglobins.Providing
- otherwise

- information,
- this
- unique
- and
- practical

- remarkably
- useful

- all
- laboratory
