Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:To develop a method for the determination of succinylacetone (SA) in dried blood spots (DBS) using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).
METHODS:SA was extracted from DBS with an acetonitrile and water solution (80:20 by volume) containing formic acid and hydrazine hydrate (both at 0.1% by volume), and analyzed by MS/MS with a total run time per sample under 2 min. The reference range for SA in newborns was determined by analyzing a control group of 3199 DBS. SA was also measured in stored newborn specimens from three patients diagnosed clinically with hepatorenal tyrosinemia (HT).
RESULTS:The within-run precision was journal_name journal_title authors doi subject pub_date pages issue eissn issn pii journal_volume pub_type
