The normal level glycohemoglobin product is a stabilized oxy hemoglobin control with values less than 6.0%.  The elevated control has a glycohemoglobin level between 8% and 13%. The values are assigned by point of care instrumentation.  This ...  

The measurement of hemoglobin A2 is important in the diagnosis of thalessemia. The most commonly used diagnostic procedures are alkaline cellulose electrophoresis and column chromatography. BGT’s normal and elevated A2 controls are ...  

BGT’s Total Hemoglobin Control is specifically designed to test the efficacy of hemoglobin tests such as cyanmethemoglobin. These reagents frequently loose their potency and yield inaccurate values as they age. Using a pre-prepared standard control assay ...  

BGT’s Hemoglobin based G-6-PDH Control is useful in tests designed to detect G-6-PDH deficiencies and in the management of drug sensitivities related to this ...  

BGT’s Gal-1-PUT Control is hemoglobin based and useful in screening and quantitative assays used to aid the diagnosis of galactosssemia. The Gal-1-PUT Control contains Gal-1-PUT in a stabilized ...  

BGT Keul-o-test Hemoglobin F Assay is designed for accurate quantitation of adult hemoglobin F in ranges from 2% to 40% by alkali denaturation. The BGT Hemoglobin Assay is based on the ability of hemoglobin F to resist denaturation ...  

BGT’s Variant Hemoglobin Control, AC is useful in confirming the presence of variant hemoglobin C in populations where C and E occur and in the presence of other hemoglobins such as elevated hemoglobin A2. The control performs on alkaline ...  

Although both hemoglobin D disease and trait hemoglobin AD are extremely rare, the importance of using controls is highlighted by the fact that hemoglobin S and hemoglobin D migrate similarly upon alkaline (pH 8.6) electrophoresis. This is so because ...  

Hemoglobin E is a fairly rare hemoglobinopathy in the United States. However, it occurs in the 30– 50 million person range in Asia, mainly among southeast Asian peoples. Therefore, a high incidence of hemoglobin E is to be expected among such ...  

BGT’s Variant Hemoglobin Control, AF is useful in laboratories doing hemoglobin electrophoresis screening of newborns. The control performs on alkaline electrophoresis, acid citrate agar media, HPLC, and isoelectric focusing procedures. The ...  

BGT’s Variant Hemoglobin Control, AFC is useful in confirming the presence of variant hemoglobin C in populations where C and E occur and in the presence of other hemoglobins such as elevated hemoglobin A2. BGT’s Variant Hemoglobin ...  

BGT’s Variant Hemoglobin Control, AFSC and NAFSC are useful controls for any electrophoresis screening HPLC or isoelectric focusing procedure where variant hemoglobins are expected. The stabilized oxyhemoglobin based AFSC control has values for A ...  

BGT’s Variant Hemoglobin Control, AS is useful in laboratory screenings for sickle cell trait and disease. The control performs on alkaline electrophoresis, acid citrate agar media, HPLC, and isoelectric focusing procedures.  The stabilized ...  

BGT’s Variant Hemoglobin Control, F is an useful control for alkali denaturation hemoglobin screening. The normal control has an F hemoglobin approximately that of normal patients <2%, while the elevated control has an F hemoglobin level ...  

BGT’s Variant Hemoglobin Control, Fractions contains one vial each of AS, AC, AF and A2 stabilized, oxyhemoglobin based Variant Hemoglobin Controls. AC helps to confirm the presence of variant hemoglobin C in populations where C and E occur ...  

The blocks and empty spaces represent the genes for alpha-globin synthesis. Hemoglobin H represents an excess beta chain production and is a hemoglobin tetramer of beta chains. This is caused by a decreased production of alpha-globin chains causing a ...
