Find Clarity About Your Blood Health with Hb Electrophoresis Testing
When you’re experiencing persistent fatigue, unexplained weakness, or have concerns about inherited blood conditions, it’s natural to feel anxious. Our Hb Electrophoresis test provides the answers you need with precision and care. For South Africans across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria, we offer trusted diagnostic testing that puts your health first.
Understanding Hb Electrophoresis: Your Guide to Blood Health
Hb Electrophoresis by HPLC is a sophisticated blood test that examines your haemoglobin – the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. Using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), this test identifies different types of haemoglobin and detects abnormalities that could indicate conditions like sickle cell disease or thalassemia.
Think of it as a detailed map of your blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity – revealing exactly what types of haemoglobin are present and in what quantities. This information is crucial for understanding your blood health and identifying potential inherited disorders.
Who Should Consider This Test? Listen to Your Body’s Signals
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained fatigue and weakness that doesn’t improve with rest
- Family history of blood disorders like sickle cell or thalassemia
- Planning pregnancy and want to understand genetic risks
- Abnormal blood counts in previous tests
- Symptoms of anaemia that don’t respond to treatment
- Preparing for surgery or medical procedures
- Planning international travel to malaria-endemic areas
Many South Africans carry genetic traits for blood disorders without knowing it. Early detection through this test can provide life-changing information for you and your family.

- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your blood health status
