Affordable and Accurate Sickle Cell Test

Measurements and Observations

Hemoglobin Electrophoresis: This test separates different types of hemoglobin in the blood and can identify abnormal hemoglobin S, which causes sickle cell disease.

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC): A more precise method to detect and quantify different hemoglobin types, including hemoglobin S.

DNA Testing: Identifies specific mutations in the HBB gene responsible for sickle cell disease.
