Scheme 1. Protocol to enhance sensitivity of sulfatide positive-ion detection in DBS.

Scheme 1

Step I: all sulfatide species are enzymatically converted to a single molecular species (lysosulfatide); step II: the lysosulfatide is reacted with the indicated reagent to improve detection sensitivity in positive-ion mode.
