Abstract
A method for starch gel electrophoresis of hemoglobins is presented in which a modified Lintner starch is used for the preparation of the gel. A discontinuous buffer system of tris-EDTA-borate/barbital is used as the electrolyte medium because of its superior resolving power. Hemoglobin A2 values, obtained with this method, of healthy individuals, patients with thalassemia, and those with various anemias of nonthalassemic origin are presented.
