Test Overview & Methodology
The NBS Quad Test is a newborn screening panel that detects four critical inborn errors of metabolism using a few drops of heel-prick blood on filter paper. It provides early detection of Congenital Hypothyroidism, Phenylketonuria, Galactosemia, and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, enabling timely intervention.
The analysis is performed by Fluoroimmunoassay (FEIA) and specialized immunoassays, delivering results within 24 hours when sample is received by 9 AM (Monday–Friday).

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“The newborn screening quad panel is a vital gateway to early intervention for four congenital conditions. While the test offers excellent sensitivity, every abnormal result must be corroborated through confirmatory diagnostics and clinical evaluation to avoid unnecessary treatment or missed diagnoses.”
— Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner (DHA Registration ID: 36234132)
Advisory Guidance
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or infant feeding regimen without consulting your pediatrician. Screen results are for early detection and do not replace clinical judgment.

- Insufficient blood spotting (less than full circle) or contamination may compromise results.
- If baby shows lethargy, poor feeding, vomiting, severe jaundice, or seizures prior to collection, seek immediate ER care.
