Quantitative Organic Acid Screen (Urine)

Comments: We utilize the same gas chromatography-mass spectrometric technique as in our comprehensive organic acid analysis, but limit the analysis to a strategically selected group of compounds which should permit identification of patients with nearly all known organic acidemias. There are a limited number of known conditions which this screen will not detect, and complete diagnosis may require subsequent comprehensive analysis.

Sample requirements: Urine, 10-20 mL (minimum 5 mL), frozen without preservatives and shipped frozen (packed with dry ice) or lyophilized and shipped at room temp with original volume specified.

Turn-around time: Routine: 10-14 working days
