POINT OF CARE SICKLE CELL ANEMIA TEST
Test Description RESULT REFERENCE RANGES
Sickle Cell Anemia
(Method: HPOS)
Ra = 0.16
< 0.16: Normal (HbA)
0.165 – 0.235: Sickle-cell Trait (HbAS)
> 0.24: Sickle-cell Disease (HbSS)
0.16-0.165: Inconclusive (Negative Borderline)
0.235 – 0.24: Inconclusive (Positive Borderline)
Test Principle: This point of care quantitative diagnostic test for sickle-cell anemia works on the principle of absorption spectroscopy. The test helps in differentiating heterozygous/homozygous hemoglobin from normal hemoglobin.
Method: High Performance Optical Spectroscopy (HPOS) for detection of Sickle cell trait and sickle cell disease in whole blood capillary blood samples.
Note: Borderline cases are reported as inconclusive. It may occur due to several factors such as medication, transfusion, field conditions and assay process. Further clinical tests are recommended in these cases for diagnosis.
