Abstract We report a method for determination of vanillylmandelic acid, vanillactic acid, and homovanillic acid by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), with coulometric electrochemical detection, for mass screening of neuroblastoma. Urine samples were collected on filter paper, dried, and then pretreated. The chromatographic procedure is reliable and fast, allowing for a large sample throughput for routine screening. Intricate extraction procedures and centrifugal separation are unnecessary. Screening for neuroblastoma by HPLC is rapidly gaining acceptance in Japan, and our method is being used at many screening centers. Of 26,571 infants screened in one year in Yokohama City, our method detected five with neuroblastoma.

Abstract Aliquots (0.1 mL) of whole-blood pools prepared to contain various concentrations of phenylalanine were applied to filter-paper collection cards, dried, and stored in sealed bags. We measured the phenylalanine content of the dried blood spots by bioassay, fluorometry, and "high-performance" liquid chromatography, and found that the concentrations remained constant for two years when samples were kept at -20 degrees C or lower. Intra- and interlaboratory studies showed that results for phenylalanine were greater for laboratories using bioassay procedures than for those using fluorometric procedures. Further, CVs (both among- and within-laboratory) obtained with fluorometric procedures were nearly half as great as the CVs obtained by laboratories using bioassay techniques.
