Hemoglobinopathy Evaluation Panel
Identifies abnormal hemoglobin types behind unexplained anemia, microcytosis, and inherited blood disorders.
Consider this test if:
- Microcytic anemia that has not responded to iron, or persists despite normal iron studies
- Family history of sickle cell disease, thalassemia, or another hemoglobin disorder
- Planning a pregnancy or carrier screening with a partner of similar ancestry
- Ancestry from regions where hemoglobin variants are common (Mediterranean, African, Middle Eastern, South or Southeast Asian)
- An abnormal newborn screen or a prior result showing an unusual hemoglobin variant
- HSA/FSA eligible
- Results delivered to your dashboard · Reviewed by a real clinician
- Drawn at a CLIA/CAP-accredited lab near you ·
Pre-test considerations
No fasting required. A recent blood transfusion can mask or distort your native hemoglobin pattern, so note any transfusion in the prior three to four months. Iron deficiency can lower hemoglobin A2 and complicate interpretation, so concurrent iron status is often worth knowing.

What this test is for
This panel combines a red blood cell count with quantification of the different hemoglobin types in your blood, separating normal hemoglobin (A, A2, F) from abnormal variants (S, C, E) using electrophoresis and HPLC. It is the workup used to detect and identify hemoglobinopathies and thalassemias, the inherited conditions behind sickle cell disease, sickle cell trait, and the thalassemia syndromes. Elevated hemoglobin A2 points toward beta thalassemia trait, raised hemoglobin F appears in several inherited conditions, and the presence of S, C, or E identifies specific variant hemoglobins, all read alongside the red cell indices (MCV, MCH, RDW) that flag microcytosis.
This full evaluation panel pairs the complete blood indices with hemoglobin fractionation, so it is the right choice when anemia or small red cells need a cause. The separate Hemoglobin Fractionation test reports the hemoglobin types alone, useful when the red cell indices are already known.

Hematocrit measures the percentage of your blood volume made up of red blood cells, the cells that carry oxygen from your lungs to every tissue. Low hematocrit points to anemia and pairs with fatigue, breathlessness, dizziness, or poor exercise tolerance, while high hematocrit can reflect dehydration, high altitude, smoking, or overactive red cell production, and thickens blood in ways that matter for cardiovascular risk. It's a core piece of the complete blood count, useful as a baseline read on oxygen-carrying capacity and for tracking how iron status, training, or altitude exposure are shifting your blood over time.

Frequently asked questions
View all FAQsHow does pricing work?
Every test shows the member price next to the standard non-member price, so you can see what membership saves you. The member price is our cost, covering the lab and what it takes to run the service. It is never a profit on the test itself. Mito makes its money on the $9 membership, not on marking up your tests. Membership is $9 per month, and any applicable lab order or draw fee is itemized before you pay.
Where do I get tested?
Choose an available partner lab at checkout. If your cart contains multiple blood tests, Mito helps consolidate the eligible tests at one lab when possible. At-home kits and scans follow the collection or appointment process shown on their product page.
Is this eligible for HSA/FSA?
Yes. Eligible tests can be paid for with an HSA or FSA card at checkout.
When will I get my results?
Your results appear in your Mito dashboard after the laboratory completes processing. A clinician then reviews them before your analysis and personalized action plan are finalized. Timing varies by test, and specialty assays and at-home kits may take longer.
Do I need a physician's order?
No. Mito provides the laboratory order when one is required, so you do not need to arrange a separate physician visit before purchasing.
