Nothing is more accurate for newborn screening than tandem mass spectromtry.
The screening laboratory also maintains an active research and development program that spearheads new innovations in mass spectrometry, biochemistry, and molecular genetics, and will provide important additions to screening in the future. There are literally thousands of babies a year that die or are severely damaged by conditions that can be detected through expanded newborn screening.
