Filter paper-collected blood lead testing in children.
To the Editor The Editorial " Filter Paper Lead Testing " by Moyer et al. (1) repeats previously raised hypothetical and unsubstantiated claims on filter paper (FP collection-based) blood lead testing (1– 4). All the theoretical charges were appropriately rebutted in the past based on published evidence (5–9). The peer-reviewed scientific literature supports the clinical usefulness of FP-collec...
متن کاملFilter paper lead testing.
Lead is a common toxic metal in our environment. It is present at high concentrations (up to 600 g/kg) in some paints manufactured before 1970. Some artistic ceramic products and leaded glass contain substantial amounts of lead that can be leached by weak acids such as vinegar and fruit juices. Lead is also found in dirt from areas adjacent to buildings painted with lead-based paints and on hig...
متن کاملEvaluation of filter paper blood lead methods: results of a pilot proficiency testing program.
BACKGROUND Lead testing on dried filter paper (FP) blood spots is used routinely by some laboratories for lead poisoning screening. Proficiency testing (PT) as required under CLIA '88 laboratory regulations has not been available for these methods. METHODS We describe a suitable PT scheme and evaluate FP laboratory performance based on program results. Monthly testing events consisting of fiv...

متن کاملTwo-site enzyme immunoassay for alpha-fetoprotein in dried-blood samples collected on filter paper.
This is a method for measuring alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in eluates of dried-blood samples on filter paper by use of a simple, sensitive two-site enzyme immunoassay. The spot, 6 mm in diameter (equivalent to about 12 microL of whole blood), is incubated overnight with alkaline phosphatase conjugated to rabbit anti-AFP antibody in a tube containing a polystyrene bead coated with mouse monoclonal a...
