The priority genetic disease in prevention programmes Effective screening is of great importance in populations with prevalence of disorders in the globin chain synthesis and a fast and low cost diagnostic early detection is a fundamental issue for an effective and well-timed diagnostic approach. Test method and kit for the extensive screening of Haemoglobinopathies and Thalassaemia patients and carriers • It is a mass screening test which detects the “healthy population” and allows a preliminary detection of the different types of haemoglobinopatic patients and carriers • It makes a screening for a variety of common haemolytic disorders, at one go • It is easy to perform, even single handedly • Semitrained person is enough • Immediate results • Only finger blood sample required, so easy to draw • Everything is provided in the kit; the only consumable required is the deionised water for reconstitution of reagents • Observation bias/variation is negated as the densitometric evaluation is done by the equipment which has been calibrated agains known Normal Sample • The test can be carried to the Community level. It’s the ideal tool   - for the Community   - of the Community   - by the Community • The Community saves money and time as to screen means to run a test over 100% of the population in a certain area, and the entire population may be screened for “haemoglobin and blood disorders” at one go • RESULTS:   - NORMAL means that he/she is not suffering from any common type of haemolytic anaemia   - SUSPICIOUS means that he/she may be suffering from any common type of haemolytic anaemia • SENSITIVITY / SPECIFICITY:   - % of “false negative” 0%   - sensitivity is 90%   - specificity is 80%   - % of “false positive” 4%
