EDMA 2000 as a matrix for high-performance liquid chromatography of human haemoglobin chains.
An ethylenedimethacrylate polymer-based matrix (EDMA 2000) is described that shortens the time for separation of haemoglobin (Hb) chains to 30 min, compared with the use of C4 large-pore Vydac columns, commonly used for reversed-phase HPLC of Hb variants. EDMA 2000 was successfully used for the isolation of an abnormal beta-chain of the unstable Hb recently characterized as Hb Nottingham.
