Key Points

To demonstrate the induction and visualization of red blood cell sickling in sickle cell disease using an anaerobic culture bottle environment.
Blood samples from a patient with sickle cell disease were incubated in a standard anaerobic blood culture bottle to establish a deoxygenated environment.
Microscopic examination was performed to inspect changes in erythrocyte morphology following anaerobic incubation.
Oxygen deprivation inside the anaerobic culture bottle successfully induced rapid polymerization of abnormal hemoglobin and characteristic sickle transformation of erythrocytes.
Microscopic observation confirmed clear, reproducible red blood cell sickling without requiring specialized gas-mixing equipment.
