SAS‚™ Sickle Cell Test
(100 Tests)
The SAS™ Sickle Cell Test is intended for use as an aid in the qualitative detection of hemoglobin S (Hb-S) in whole blood. An economical test with proven technology. Simple methodology with results within 5 minutes. Room temperature storage, two-year shelf life. CLIA Classification: Non-waived. For professional in vitro diagnostic use only.
Sickle cell disease is an inherited disease which is characterized by the presence of an abnormal hemoglobin (Hb-S). In normal adults, 95% or more of the hemoglobin is present as hemoglobin A (Hb-A). Infants younger than 3 months of age may have low levels of Hb-S which may not be detectable by this methodology. Hemoglobin S can be inherited in the homozygous state (S/S), which results in sickle cell anemia, or in heterozygous state (A/S), which is usually the benign, asymptomatic sickle cell trait. Hemoglobin S can also occur in the presence of other abnormal hemoglobin, i.e. Hb-C (S/C), thalassemia (S-thal), or Hb-D (S/D). These are referred to as the sickle cell variants and can produce symptoms of varying severity.
The SAS™ Sickle Cell Test is intended to be used as an aid in the qualitative detection of hemoglobin S (Hb-S) in anticoagulated whole blood. The test does not distinguish between sickle cell disease (HbSS) and sickle cell trait (HbSA). This test is not recommended for use on newborns under 3 months of age. This test is for in vitro diagnostic professional use.
