galvania Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Dear MaryamThe way it works is that you have a lyophilised reducing agent that needs to be reconstituted just before use. You mix the cells being tested with the reducing agent and pipette on to a neutral ID card, then centrifuge. This is not an antibody-antigen reaction, but a physical one. HbS pos cells are deformed when added to the reducing agent, and are then not flexible enough to travel through the gel as normal cells would be able to do. It is important to realise it is only a screening testanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
