## Indications for use
Sebia’'s HYDRAGEL HEMOGLOBIN(E) and HYDRAGEL ACID(E) HEMOGLOBIN(E) lines of devices are intended as an aid in the detection and identification of human hemoglobin abnormalities, namely hemoglobinopathies (structural hemoglobin abnormalities) and thalassemias (regulation abnormalities). The uses are indicated as follows: The HYDRAGEL HEMOGLOBIN(E) and HYDRAGEL MINI HEMOGLOBIN(E) Kits are designed for use in conjunction with a manual electrophoretic apparatus. The HYDRAGEL 7/15 HEMOGLOBIN(E) Kits are designed for use with the semi-automated HYDRASYS electrophoretic apparatus. All these kits utilize alkaline agarose gels for electrophoretic separation of human hemoglobins. The electrophoregrams are interpreted visually for pattern abnormalities. Densitometry can serve as an aid in the interpretation by providing relative concentrations of individual fractions. The kits are intended for the detection of the normal hemoglobins (A and Az) and the major hemoglobin variants S or D and C or E. They are indicated for screening for clinically important abnormal hemoglobins. Electrophoresis on acidic gel, e.g., HYDRAGEL ACID(E) HEMOGLOBIN(E), should follow to confirm the identification of hemoglobin variants, in particular, to differentiate hemoglobins S from D and E from C. The HYDRAGEL ACID(E) HEMOGLOBIN(E) and HYDRAGEL MINI ACID(E) HEMOGLOBIN(E) Kits are designed for use in conjunction with a manual electrophoretic apparatus. The HYDRAGEL 7/15 ACID(E) HEMOGLOBIN(E) Kits are designed for use with the semi-automated HYDRASYS electrophoretic apparatus. All these kits utilize acid buffered agarose gels for electrophoretic separation of human hemoglobins. The electrophoregrams serve for qualitative, visual interpretation of the patterns. The kits are indicated for confirming the identity of clinically important abnormal hemoglobins that have been previously detected on alkaline buffered HYDRAGEL HEMOGLOBIN(E) gels. Primarily, they serve for differentiation of hemoglobins S from D and E from C.
