High Resolution Acylcarnitine Sub-Panels

Determine the true cause of acylcarnitine abnormalities detected by common acylcarnitine tests such as newborn screening. Our novel LC-MS/MS acylcarnitine method (TEST 4000) can separate and individually quantify numerous isobaric/isomeric acylcarnitine species unresolved by traditional flow injection methods. If a full acylcarnitine analysis is not needed, we offer the following targeted acylcarnitine subpanels:

Interested in partnering on research studies?

Testing provided by the Biochemical Genetics Laboratory can be commissioned for research studies and applied not only to human plasma/urine/CSF/blood spot cards, but to a wide range of biofluids and tissue extracts derived from model organisms or cell cultures.
