Biogenic Amines
Biogenic amines and their metabolites are important for the diagnosis of a number of diseases such as phaeochromocytoma or other tumours of the nervous system. Reliable results in routine diagnostics are therefore of clinical significance. We offer a range of reliable CE-IVD solutions for HPLC and LC-MS/MS as well as for urine and plasma as matrices. For our LC-MS/MS assays, you may also choose from two different configurations – with 96 SPE well plates or sample clean up columns.
- Assays for HPLC and LC-MS/MS
- CE-IVD validated solutions
- For urine and plasma
- Calibrators and controls also available here

The LC-MS/MS assays are aimed at the determination of biogenic amines, including solutions for plasma and urine matrices. They are available in 96 SPE well plate format or alternatively with sample clean up columns. Isotope-labelled internal standards for each analyte and 6PLUS1® Multilevel Calibrator Sets as well as MassCheck® controls ensure a reliable and safe determination of the analytes.
