About test
What does TMS Tandem Mass Spectrometry - (Outlab) measure?
Tandem mass spectrometry (TMS) measures selected amino acids and acylcarnitines to identify metabolic patterns that may be associated with inherited metabolic disorders. It may be used as part of newborn or paediatric screening, or when symptoms or family history raise concern for conditions affecting amino acid, organic acid, or fatty acid metabolism. Results are interpreted together with clinical findings and may guide the need for further testing.
