NeoScreen Galactose
Accurate, reliable galactose quantification from dried blood samples.
Overview
The Labsystems Diagnostics NeoScreen Galactose kit provides precise quantification of galactose levels in newborns. Using dried blood spot samples, it measures both free galactose and galactose released from galactose-1-phosphate. The method ensures consistent results, enabling early detection of galactosemia and supporting timely clinical intervention.
