Abstract We have devised a rapid screening test for use in detecting sickling hemoglobins. This test depends on the insolubility of sickling hemoglobins in 2.24 molar phosphate buffer. Sickling hemoglobins form a turbid suspension in this test, in which positive and negative results, respectively, appear very much like those for the "Sickledex" test.

Abstract The need for a rapid screening procedure that differentiates both sickle-cell trait (S[unknown]) and sickle-cell anemia (SS) in a single test system has led to the development of a new 10-min screening test. The "Sickle-I.D." system is based on a modification of the sodium dithionite hemoglobin solubility test. It is composed of three reagents and requires 0.1 ml of whole blood. Two independent blind clinical comparisons of this new procedure with hemoglobin electrophoresis (4328 samples) revealed an accuracy of 99.8% in identification and differentiation of sicklecell trait and sickle-cell anemia. Together with confirmation of positives by hemoglobin electrophoresis, this new procedure provides rapid and accurate screening for sickle-cell trait (S[unknown]) and sickle-cell anemia (SS).

Abstract A rapid screening test has been developed to determine killing dilutions of quaternary ammonium compounds. Two factors, Letheen broth as a quaternary ammonium compound neutralizer and triphenyltetrazolium chloride as a microbial growth indicator, resulted in a rapid test system for the evaluation of quaternary ammonium compounds. This rapid test system takes from 4 to 8 hr to complete as opposed to the 24 to 48 hr for other tests. A new germicide can be bacteriologically screened in one day.
