This Certified Spiking Solution® is suitable for use as starting material in the preparation of linearity standards, calibrators, and controls in LC-MS/MS and GC/MS bile acid testing methods. Lithocholic acid (LCA) is a bile acid that acts as a detergent to solubilize fats for absorption in the intestine. Mass spectrometry-based analysis of LCA is routinely performed in clinical diagnostic testing applications including neonatal testing of inborn errors of bile acid synthesis and differentiating among types of familial intrahepatic cholestasis.
