The GSP® Biotinidase kit is designed to support newborn screening laboratories in the detection of biotinidase deficiency, a rare but serious metabolic disorder. This condition can lead to developmental delays, neurological issues, and other complications if left untreated, making early identification through newborn screening critical for timely intervention.
Using blood samples collected on standard dried blood spot (DBS) filter paper cards, the assay measures biotinidase enzyme activity in a quantitative manner. Results provide an effective means to differentiate between normal enzyme function, partial deficiency, and profound deficiency.

Using blood samples collected on standard dried blood spot (DBS) filter paper cards, the assay measures biotinidase enzyme activity in a quantitative manner. Results provide an effective means to differentiate between normal enzyme function, partial deficiency, and profound deficiency.
GSP® Biotinidase kit is intended for the semi-quantitative determination of biotinidase activity in blood specimens dried on filter paper as an aid in screening newborns for biotinidase deficiency. The kit is used on the GSP® newborn screening instrument.
