Abstract：
:We adapted the method of McCaman and Robins for fluorometry of phenylalanine to a microplate assay for routine phenylketonuria screening. Sensitivity is 15 mumol/L for the plasma assay and 30 mumol/L for the dried blood-spot assay, with CV less than 10% for both assays. Results for human plasma by microplate assay correlated well (r = 0.99) with results of amino acid analyzer determination of phenylalanine. When measurements are performed in an automated reader, the microplate assay has considerable advantages over conventional measurements in cuvettes: smaller volumes of reagents and automation enabling high throughput and convenience. Because the described method is a quantitative one, we can postulate that, compared with the semiquantitative Guthrie inhibition bioassay, this microplate assay is more reliable, easier to perform, and about twofold less costly.
