sickling test

sickling test
(for hemoglobin S and sickling in erythrocytes) a test particularly useful for heterozygotes, done by reducing the environmental oxygen around the erythrocytes, which may be done by simply sealing a drop of blood under a coverslip or may be speeded up by adding 2 per cent sodium metabisulfite or sodium dithionite to the preparation.
