Ranges
Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ
Quest Diagnostics, Sickle Cell Screen with Reflex to Hemoglobinopathy Evaluation 37679
| Population | Interval |

| Sickle Cell Screen | Negative |
Tests

Quest Diagnostics catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- Solubility
- Collection
- Maintain specimen at room temperature. Do not centrifuge. Patient age and ethnicity are necessary for proper interpretation. Blood transfusions within the last 4 months may affect results. Note: This test is not appropriate for patients less than 6 months old due to interference by Hemoglobin F. In these cases it is suggested that test code 35489 (Hemoglobinopathy Evaluation) be ordered. If tube drawn is shared with lead testing, trace metal-free EDTA (i.e. royal blue-top or tan-top) tube is required.

Verify these ranges and sources
We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
