Newborn Screening Panel Extended Test
Comprehensive Early Detection for Your Newborn’s Health
The Newborn Screening Panel Extended Test represents a groundbreaking advancement in pediatric healthcare, offering comprehensive genetic screening for infants during their most critical developmental period. This state-of-the-art panel utilizes cutting-edge diagnostic technologies to identify over 30 inherited metabolic disorders that, if left undetected, could lead to serious health complications, developmental delays, or even life-threatening conditions.
What Does This Test Measure?
Our extended newborn screening panel employs sophisticated analytical methods including tandem mass spectrometry (TMS) and fluoroimmunoassay to detect a comprehensive range of metabolic conditions:
- Biotinidase Deficiency – Enzyme deficiency affecting biotin metabolism
- Cystic Fibrosis – Genetic disorder affecting lungs and digestive system
- G6PD Deficiency – Enzyme deficiency causing hemolytic anemia
- Galactosemia – Inability to process galactose sugar
