Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
1. What is included in the Thyrocare Neonatal Hemoglobin Electrophoresis Test?
The Thyrocare Neonatal Hemoglobin Electrophoresis Test helps detect various hemoglobin variants such as HbA, HbF, HbS, HbC, and Hb Barts. It is primarily used to identify genetic blood disorders like sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and other hemoglobinopathies in newborns.
2. Who should opt for the Thyrocare Neonatal Hemoglobin Electrophoresis Test?
This test is recommended for newborns (up to 28 days old), especially if there is a family history of blood disorders, or if the baby shows signs of anemia, jaundice, or poor growth. It is also a part of routine newborn screening for early detection of inherited blood conditions.
3. Is fasting required before taking the Thyrocare Neonatal Hemoglobin Electrophoresis Test?
No fasting is required. The test can be conducted at any time, and feeding does not affect the test results.
4. How is the sample collected for the Thyrocare Neonatal Hemoglobin Electrophoresis Test?
A trained phlebotomist collects a small amount of blood through a heel prick or venous draw from the newborn at home. The sample is then processed using automated electrophoresis systems at Thyrocare’s NABL- and ISO-certified laboratories. We provide home sample collection and a digital report.
5. What is the cost of the Thyrocare Neonatal Hemoglobin Electrophoresis Test?
The test is priced at RS 847.

Yes, this test is available across India, including cities, towns, and rural regions, with home collection services offered in most locations.
8. What makes the Thyrocare Neonatal Hemoglobin Electrophoresis Test reliable?
Thyrocare ensures highly accurate detection of hemoglobin variants using automated electrophoretic techniques, supported by strict quality protocols and state-of-the-art laboratory infrastructure.
9. What do the Thyrocare Neonatal Hemoglobin Electrophoresis Test results indicate?
The results show the types and proportions of hemoglobin present in the newborn. Abnormal hemoglobin patterns can indicate conditions like sickle cell disease, thalassemia, or other inherited disorders. Early detection allows for timely medical intervention and genetic counseling, if needed.
