Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo develop a new stable and efficient reagent for methemoglobin reduction test.
METHODSThe results of methemoglobin reduction test using the new reagent were compared with those by G6P/6PG ratio method and classic methemoglobin reduction test.
RESULTSThe new reagent was stable for at least 6 months at room temperature and 12 months at 2-8 degrees celsius;. The results of the test using this new reagent were stable and reliable.
CONCLUSIONThe new reagent for methemoglobin reduction test allows easy operation with well reproducible results and can be used in clinical screening of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
