Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hemoglobin electrophoresis is used as a screening test to identify normal and abnormal hemoglobins and assess their quantity. Hemoglobin types include hemoglobin A1 (HbA1), hemoglobin A2 (HbA2), hemoglobin F (HbF; fetal hemoglobin), hemoglobin C (HbC), and hemoglobin S (HbS).
Detailed explanation-2: -Hemoglobin Type F (HgbF): Normally, this hemoglobin type accounts for the largest part of red blood cells in fetuses, babies and children up to age 3. A high type F hemoglobin level in adults is considered an abnormal hemoglobin level. Hemoglobin Type S (HgbS): This hemoglobin type is a symptom of sickle cell anemia.
