A Rapid Spot Test for the Determination of Cystinuria and Aminoaciduria

[摘要] A simple test for the determination of cystinuria and of aminoaciduria is described. The basis of the test is the color reaction between nitroprusside and thiol groups. The reagent is a dry mixture to which the urine samples are applied. The ease of peformance of the test makes it ideal for use as a screening procedure. The reaction is nonspecific, and positive tests require further investigation by more elaborate laboratory procedures.
