Distiguishing mutant knots

Can an invariant from a quantum Lie algebra ever distinguish mutant knots? (Maybe if it is "chiral"...whatever that means :-) (Note that Kauffman abstract tensors/skein equations CAN distinguish mutant knots - here is my smallest example - and many of those are quantum Lie algebra invariants. (A no to the above question would mean: not all of them are. Would be good to know.)
