Lysing the red blood cells releases the hemoglobin

Reference no: EM13526766

You suspect that Michael has sickle cell anemia and you have ordered an isoelectric focusing analysis of the child’s lysed red blood cells. (Lysing the red blood cells releases the hemoglobin.) Draw a diagram of the predicted results. Why will this test allow you to diagnose this child’s disease?
