ABSTRACT
A simple and inexpensive micromethod based on methaemoglobin reduction technique (MRT) for screening of glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency has been studied using reagent-impregnated curvettes incubated in a makeshift waterbath. The cuvettes shelf life has been tested upto nine months. As the test can be done with finger prick blood, it promises to be more acceptable in the field. The sensitivity of this is similar to classical MRT.
