For hours, walk-ins and appointments.Hemoglobin (Hb) Solubility With Reflex to Hemoglobinopathy Fractionation Cascade, Blood
CPT:
85660. If reflex testing is performed, concomitant CPT codes/charges will apply.
Synonyms
- Hb Solubility
- Sickle Cell Preparation
- Sickle Cell Solubility Test
- Sickle Cell Test
- Sickle Prep
- Sickledex™
Test Includes
Hemoglobin (Hb) solubility and automatic reflex to hemoglobin (Hb) fractionation blood (at additional charge), if positive.
Expected Turnaround Time
2 - 3 days
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.

Specimen Requirements
Specimen
Whole blood
Volume
1 mL
Minimum Volume
0.6 mL (Note: This volume does not allow for repeat testing.)
Container
Lavender-top (EDTA) tube; capillary puncture: three microhematocrit tubes
Note: Because this profile reflexes to Hemoglobinopathy Fractionation Cascade [121690] when positive, only a Lavender-top (EDTA) tube is allowed.
Collection
To avoid delays in turnaround time, please submit a separate lavender-top tube for each test requiring a lavender-top.
