Galactose - Continuous Flow System Brochure

Astoria-Pacific’s SPOTCHECK Total Galactose test is used to help screen for Galactosemia. When galactose is ingested by an affected newborn, the galactose-1 phosphate accumulates intracellularly causing blood and urine galactose levels to become elevated. Serum galactose measurements can be used to diagnose and treat Galactosemia.
