Abstract We describe here a rapid and comprehensive screening method for 40 commonly used sedatives and tranquilizers with use of gas-liquid chromatography. Barbiturates, nonbarbiturate sedatives, and tranquilizers of the phenothiazine, benzodiazepine, and dibenzazepine type can be both identified and measured in serum. A simple solvent extraction at different pH values, with subsequent solvent partition, effects a preliminary separation into acid, neutral, and basic drugs. The three fractions are separated on two standard 180-cm glass columns: acid and neutral drugs with the liquid phase XE-60 (3.5%) and basic drugs with the liquid phase OV-17(3%). Sera from more than 50 patients have been analyzed by this technique, and the concentrations of several sedatives and tranquilizers are reported.

Abstract We describe a method for neonatal screening for biotinidase (EC 3.5.1.12) deficiency. Biotinidase activity is assessed colorimetrically from dried samples of whole blood spotted on the same filter papers as used in the neonatal screening for phenylketonuria. After the reaction, samples from normal infants are characteristically purple, whereas those from affected individuals are straw-colored. To confirm the deficiency, the enzyme is quantitatively assayed in additional blood spots or serum. A pilot study has been initiated with samples obtained by the Commonwealth of Virginia for phenylketonuria testing.
