Inauguration of Advanced Gazelle Hb Electrophoresis Machine at Municipal Corporation Hospital – Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Diagnosis Possible in Just 8 Minutes.
An advanced *Gazelle Hb Electrophoresis machine* has been inaugurated at the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Corporation hospital. With this machine, *accurate diagnosis of Thalassemia and Sickle Cell disease is now possible in just 8 minutes*.
Earlier, traditional HPLC tests used for detecting hemoglobin disorders would take several days to give results. But this new machine delivers reports within minutes, enabling faster treatment for patients.
Key benefits of the machine:
Speed: Results in only 8 minutes.
Utility: Diagnoses Thalassemia, Sickle Cell Disease, and other hemoglobinopathies.
Accessibility: Being available in a government hospital, poor patients will get quick diagnosis at low cost. This is especially crucial for the Marathwada region, where cases of Thalassemia and Sickle Cell are common.
What is Hb Electrophoresis?
The Hb Electrophoresis test identifies and measures different types of hemoglobin in the blood. It is prescribed when symptoms like fatigue, anemia, or abnormal blood test results appear. It is also used for newborn screening and premarital/prenatal screening to detect carriers of hemoglobin disorders.
With this facility starting at the Municipal Corporation hospital, it will greatly benefit patients from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and the entire Marathwada region.
