From: G6PD testing in support of treatment and elimination of malaria: recommendations for evaluation of G6PD tests

Figure 2

Impact of temperature on G6PD activity-based tests. A. Impact of temperature on quantitative determinations of G6PD activity for five normal and four deficient G6PD samples. B. Normalization of G6PD activity to 30°C through application of the temperature correction factor (Table 2) to values in A. C. Impact of temperature on outputs from a qualitative G6PD test. The deficient sample test result at high temperature looks similar to that of a normal sample at low temperature. Note: the temperature range used for Figure 2C is outside the recommended temperature range in the product insert.
