MassChrom® Biogenic Amines/Metabolites in Urine – LC-MS/MS
With Sample Clean Up Columns, for manual sample prep procedure
Clinical relevance
This Sample Prep Set allows the quantitative determination of adrenaline (epinephrine), noradrenaline (norepinephrine), dopamine, 3-methoxytyramine, metanephrine, normetanephrine and serotonin in patient urine samples by LC-MS/MS. One typical application for this kit is the analysis of patient samples with suspected catecholamine or serotonin secreting tumours.
Product advantages
- 7 analytes in one single run
- Fast and efficient sample prep
Correct pH, required for a precise analysis, is verified quickly and conveniently by a colour indicator and can be adjusted with a specific reagent, if necessary - Isotopically labelled internal standard for each analyte
- 6PLUS1® Multilevel Calibrator Set and MassCheck® controls ensure high precision of results
This Sample Prep Set encompasses all required components for an efficient and fast sample preparation.
There is also a method using 96 SPE well plates (80600/96 & 80600/480) as well as the corresponding fully automated workflow solution available for laboratories with a higher sample throughput.
