case_images: HPLC was advised to look for increased fetal haemoglobin. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was done using BioRad Variant II instrument with beta thalassemia short program. Hb HPLC chromatogram showed a raised HbF (11%) with HbA0 69.2%, HbA2 1.8% and a peak in D-window of 10.2% with a retention time of 4.06 minutes (Figure 1).
