Abstract
Detection of the combinations of dextrose markers, very high elevations of amino acids and unusual molar ratios can be used to reject a specimen as improperly collected rather than declaring it a false positive and hence reduce false positive rates. This process enhances efficiency, reduces parental anxiety, and improves positive predictive values.
