Assessment of thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) status is required before commencing thiopurine treatment to reduce the potential for adverse drug reactions. Our laboratory has provided a national TPMT phenotyping service since 2003. Our assay uses 6-thioguanine as substrate and detection of 6-methylthioguanine via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fluorescence. Here, we report the automation of this complex, labor-intensive, manual assay using the Biomek NXP and Biomek i5 liquid-handling workstations. We optimized a
