Murayama Test for Hemoglobin S: Simplification in Technique

[摘要] An improved technique is reported for the Murayama test, which is a simple and specific test for S hemoglobin [Clin. Chem. 16, 945 (1970)]: moisturized N2 is used optimally and several steps are eliminated in the part of the test in which concentrated hemolysates are prepared by use of a dense sucrose solution. Each test, which took 1 h, can now be done in 20 min, with equal reliability and accuracy.
