Newborn Screening
The CE-IVD and ready-to-use assays for LC-MS/MS allow the reliable determination of amino acids and acylcarnitines from dried blood spot samples. They are used in newborn screening programmes for amino acid and fatty acid metabolic disorders. Assays with and without derivatisation and upgrades for succinylacetone are available.
- Each analyte safeguarded by its own internal standard
- Fast and robust sample preparation
- Screening for many metabolic disorders in a single run such as PKU (Phenylketonuria), MSUD (Maple Syrup Urine Disease) and tyrosinemia type I
Assay Overview for LC-MS/MS Analysis
MassChrom® Amino Acids and Acylcarnitines from Dried Blood
| Order No. | Derivatisation | Characteristics | Features |
| 55000 | Yes | 96 Well Plates | Highest sensitivity and extremely low interferences |
| 55000/F | Yes | 96 Well Filter Plates | Highest sensitivity and extremely low interferences One pipetting step can be saved by using well filter plates |
| 57000 | No | 96 Well Plates | Efficient and time-saving sample preparation |
| 57000/F | No | 96 Well Filter Plates | Efficient and time-saving sample preparation One pipetting step can be saved by using well filter plates |
Our assays with derivatisation combine highest sensitivity with extremely low interferences. The underivatised assays are characterised by a shorter and faster sample preparation. The methods are available with well plates, or alternatively with well filter plates, reducing the sample prep by one pipetting step. Upgrade sets for the determination of succinylacetone can be easily integrated into our assays and are available for both solutions – with and without derivatisation.
Upgrade for Succinylacetone
Succinylacetone is a primary marker to detect tyrosinemia type I in newborns and is part of the newborn screening programs in many countries. With our new assay upgrades you have the opportunity to screen for succinylacetone with both, the derivatised and now also the more time efficient underivatised methods.
