The standard conventional method of detection is complete blood count (CBC) followed by hemoglobin electrophoresis or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or both. In this context, spectral detection of variants of sickle cell anemia (SCA) is an innovative technique, which when made accurate and reliable could be an effective alternative, since the instrumentation is compact (5\u2009kg) and hence portable. This makes mass screening even in remote villages possible. In this paper, we give the essential aspects of fluorescent spectral features of sickle cell trait (SCT), sickle cell disease (SCD), beta (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>) thalassemia trait (BTT)\u2009+\u2009SCD, and beta (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>) thalassemia disease (BTD)\u2009+\u2009SCD. All the above four major variants could be discriminated among themselves and also from the normal control blood sample. All these analyses could be carried out with 5\u2009ml of blood, in a time period of 10 minutes. The results of this paper give strong support for an alternative method, a spectral technique, for molecular-level diagnosis of sickle cell anemia and other closely related blood disorders.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/5942368","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,28]],"date-time":"2018-08-28T00:23:47Z","timestamp":1535415827000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A
