Technical Information
Test Procedure: Help
Diluted, filtered urine is mixed with an internal standard mixture and analyzed for hypoxanthine, xanthine, uric acid and S-sulfocysteine by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The ratios of the extracted peak areas of the purine and pyrimidine analytes to the added internal standards are used to calculate the concentration of purines … View more
