Detection of amino acids (AA), acylcarnitines (AC), and guanidinoacetate (GAA) in dried blood spots by tandem mass spectrometry has made it possible to detect different inborn errors of metabolism in neonatal screening programs. Despite its proven sensitivity many issues related to sample preparation remain unsolved. Hematocrit has a profound effect on blood viscosity, and may thereby influence flux and diffusion properties of the blood. As newborn infants show a considerable interindividual variability of hematocrit levels, we investigated its effect on levels of AA and AC in dried blood spots.
