In this video I have explained hemoglobin electrophoresis normal electrophoretic bands along with different hemoglobinopathies like sickle cell trait, sickle cell anemia, hemoglobin C trait, hemoglobin C disease, hemoglobin SC disease, beta-thalassemia minor and beta-thalassemia major.

Thanks to Rachael Daniela for helping me in recording this video!

Hemoglobin electrophoresis is a blood test that can detect different types of hemoglobin. It uses the principles of gel electrophoresis to separate out the various types of hemoglobin and is a type of native gel electrophoresis. The test can detect abnormal levels of HbS, the form associated with sickle-cell disease, as well as other abnormal hemoglobin-related blood disorders, such as alpha thalassaemia and hemoglobin C.
