A Simple Flow Injection Analysis–Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method to Reduce False Positives of C5-Acylcarnitines Due to Pivaloylcarnitine Using Reference Ions

Flow injection analysis–tandem mass spectrometry (FIA-TMS) has been applied in a first-tier test of newborn screening (NBS). Although isovalerylcarnitine (i-C5), which is a diagnostic indicator of isovaleric acidemia (IVA), is isobaric with pivaloylcarnitine (p-C5), 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine, and n-v...
