Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe method is based on the different solubility behaviour of haemoglobin S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the manufacturer, HbS becomes relatively insoluble in a concentrated buffered medium in the presence of \u003cstrong\u003edithionite and detergent\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen HbS is present, the reduced HbS precipitates and produces visible turbidity in the test system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNon-sickling haemoglobin remains comparatively more soluble, producing a clearer test solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is read visually using the supplied \u003cstrong\u003eRapid Sickle Cell Reader
