Modification of neonatal screening test for erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
An improved technique is proposed for detecting G6PD deficiency on dried blood. A simple and rapid ascending chromatography of NADPH makes it possible to differentiate the false positives, too frequently found with Beutler's spot test (1968).
