For providing sickle trait negative units, which method do you use for testing? How did you validate your test? I'm having trouble getting sickle trait positive units from my blood supplier to do validation - any suggestions?

I'm a blood banker in small hospital in small Canadian city (~35,000 pop). If anyone out there is doing sickle cell trait testing of their units in their blood banks, what method are you using (solubility, metabisulfite, other)?
