Abstract
Clinical analyses of amino acids and fatty acids, beyond the simple non-specific chemical tests, are time consuming, require relatively large samples and are consequently expensive. The present procedure generally involves extensive sample handling, purification and/or derivatization and time-consuming chromatographic separation. This complexity of operations requires skilled clinical personnel which adds to the cost of the analysis.
