RESUMO
Abstract Phenylalanine analysis for phenylketonuria (PKU) detection in newborn screening (NBS) was chosen as the model system to describe how advancements in laboratory technology improved laboratory performance. These advancements have made NBS programs better and have improved the health outcomes of the affected newborn through improvements in accurate early detection over the past 50 years. The most current state-of-the-art technology, tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), has proven that it is now the choice in almost all modern NBS facilities because it is a versatile instrument that continues to grow in its application not just for amino acid and acylcarnitine detection but for other metabolites and disorders such as lysosomal storage diseases and second-tier detection of some screen-positive results. The use of MS/MS will continue to expand, even with the anticipated introduction and expansion of molecular screening methods into NBS programs. Regarding technological advancements, the future of NBS will include even newer technologies and approaches that will enhance the detection and treatment of newborns affected by PKU and other inborn errors of metabolism.
