    This study presents a rapid starch gel electrophoresis method for screening haemoglobinopathies. The technique efficiently analyzes numerous samples using minimal blood without prior preparation, aiding in early detection of blood disorders.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Biochemistry
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Haemoglobinopathies are a group of inherited blood disorders.
    • Accurate and efficient screening methods are crucial for early diagnosis and management.
    • Existing methods may require complex sample preparation or are time-consuming.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present a novel screening method for haemoglobinopathies.
    • To evaluate the efficiency and applicability of the method for large-scale screening.

    Main Methods:

    • A starch agar gel electrophoresis method was developed, incorporating saponin.
    • The technique was optimized for analyzing multiple blood samples (up to 100) simultaneously.
    • Electrophoresis was conducted using 300 V for 45 minutes.

    Main Results:

    • The method successfully differentiated normal and various abnormal haemoglobin types (S, C, I, M Boston, D Punjab, beta thalassaemia major, beta thalassaemia minor).
    • The procedure requires a small volume of whole blood.
    • No prior haemoglobin solution preparation is necessary, simplifying the workflow.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented starch agar gel electrophoresis is a rapid, efficient, and cost-effective method for haemoglobinopathy screening.
    • Its advantages include high sample throughput, minimal blood requirement, and simplified sample handling.
    • This method is suitable for large-scale screening programs in clinical and research settings.
