Clinical Relevance
This Sample Prep Set allows the quantitative determination of vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in patient urine samples by LC-MS/MS. It is used for the diagnostics of neuroblastoma and carcinoid tumours.
Product advantage
- Simple and fast sample prep consisting of 2 pipetting steps and subsequent injection
- Isotopically labelled internal standard for each analyte
- 6PLUS1® Multilevel Calibrator Set and MassCheck® controls ensure high precision of results
- Fully automated workflow solution available
This Sample Prep Set encompasses all required components for an efficient and fast sample preparation.
A fully automated workflow solution is also available.
Alternatively, there is also a method available using autosampler vials (80800).
