Abstract
This chromatographic procedure uses DEAE-cellulose as ion exchanger and glycine-KCN-NaCl solutions as developers. Blood samples from several adults and newborn infants with α, β, δ, or γ chain variants have been analysed. The hemoglobins are eluted as compact and symmetrical zones, and the separation of many hemoglobin types is greatly improved. The procedure is relatively fast, simple, and inexpensive.
