Arginine, as a Key Indicator for Real-Time Stability Monitoring of Quality Control in the Newborn Screening Test Using Dried Blood Spot

Dried blood spots (DBS) have advantages such as minimizing blood collection volume and the distress to neonate. DBS have been used for tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)-based newborn screening tests (NST) of amino acid (AA) and acylcarnitine. The Newborn Screening Quality Assurance Program (NSQAP) ha...
