Keeping your student athletes with sickle cell trait (SCT) safe is paramount. Athletes with SCT can be at risk for dying suddenly from a sickling crisis when performing strenuous exercise. However, they can safely practice and achieve outstanding athletic performance — the first step is getting them screened.

For initial tests, the NCAA recommends using a sickle cell solubility test such as Streck’s SICKLEDEX®.

The Benefits of SICKLEDEX include:

  • Easy to use
  • Unique packaging offers longer stability
  • Provides cost savings
  • Test results are available in 6 minutes

Also available is Sickle-Chex®, a positive and negative control that works with the SICKLEDEX kit and which does not require reconstitution.
