Description

The Thermo Scientific SickleScreen products use a modified Nalbandian procedure that provides fast and accurate results for screening hereditary Sickle Cell disease and Sickle Cell Trait. Both Sickle Cell disease and Sickle Cell trait are detected. When Sickle Cell patients are in crisis, their Hb S becomes sickle or cresent shaped and can no longer carry oxygen. The abnormal cells often break apart and can cause damage to the spleen, kidneys, bone, eyes, lungs and central nervous system.
