Liquid Chromatography - Tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) techniques allows for the simultaneous specific determination of 17-OHP and other steroids related with CAH such as androstenedione, cortisol, 11-deoxycortisol, and 21-deoxycortisol. Application of this technology to the determination of steroids in newborn blood spots significantly enhances the correct identification of patients with CAH and reduces the number of false-positive screening results when implemented as a second-tier analysis performed prior to reporting of initial newborn screen results.

• Kit analyses DBS samples, hence no need of serum collection from babies.
• Simultaneous detection of six analytes that are critical to diagnose and manage CAH.
• Ready to use reagents available for 200 tests (Column Not Included).
• Kit includes tuning mixture needed for optimization of all six analytes.
• Analysis of all analytes in 10 mins of sample injection.
• Applicable to Shimadzu 8050 and /or equivalent / higher LC-MS/MS systems
