Technical Information
Test Procedure:
Help
The specimens are incubated with a mix of substrate and internal standard for acid sphingomyelinase, beta-glucocerebrosidase, acid alpha-glucosidase, alpha-galactosidase, galactocerebrosidase and alpha-L-iduronidase. The sample is then purified by liquid-liquid extraction. The extract is evaporated and reconstituted before analysis by tandem mass spectrometry.(Unpublished Mayo method)

Analytical Validity:
Help
Accuracy was assessed by analysis of positive and negative specimens; all samples were clinically concordant. Intra assay precision was performed at 3 levels: CV results ranged from 2%-3% (N=20 each). Inter assay precision was performed at 3 levels: CV results ranged from 5%-6% (N=20 each). The analytical measurement range is …
