METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF PHOSPHOLIPIDS IN AMNIOTIC FLUID SAMPLES

摘要

The present invention refers to a fast method for the determination of phospholipids in amniotic fluid samples by HPTLC (high performance thin layer chromatography). This in- novative method presents high sensitivity, reproducibility and resolution. It has also the advantage of being of easy laboratorial interpretation, allowing the elimination of false results due to the contamination of the sample with blood or meconium.
