NEONATAL Biotinidase Screening Assay

The NEONATAL Biotinidase Screening Assay kit is an enzymatic test for biotinidase activity quantification. This test is intended for neonatal screening of  biotinidase (BTD) deficiency and is performed using dried blood samples on 903® or 226 blotting paper.

Parameter screened

Serum biotinidase (BTD) activity measurement

Test principle

The kit is based on a catalysis reaction of biotinidase extracted from the sample. In the presence of an artificial substrate, biotinidase will release 4-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). After discontinuation of the reaction by denaturation of biotinidase, the generated PABA will react with sodium nitrite to form a diazotized compound. The purple coloration obtained can be directly measured by absorption and is directly proportional to the biotinidase activity in the sample.
