The present invention describes a test kit for the detection of fat-soluble vitamins in serum using a method based on high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The internal standard (IS) solution included in the kit is based on methanol, acetonitrile and isopropyl alcohol solvents. Ammonium acetate is added to the IS solution to make it more stable and last for longer storage time. The application of this kit can significantly improve the recovery and detection sensitivity of vitamins A, E, K1 and K2 in serum without additional sample enrichment, make sample preparation process simpler and more efficient, keep processed samples stable for longer time, and lower the overall cost for more accurate and repeatable test results.

In a screening kit and a confirmed and typing diagnosis system for primary aldosteronism, a sample is pretreated by a magnetic bead bonded with a balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic polymer on the surface thereof, and process conditions are optimized and the content of each the five markers such as, aldosterone in the sample is accurately detected by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for one time, thus finding the optimal screening cut-off value of 20.4; when a positive result is judged, PA is confirmed and subjected to typing diagnosis according to the test values of the markers, thereby achieving the simultaneous detection of the content of each the five markers such as, aldosterone on the same platform. Therefore, the screening kit and confirmed and typing diagnosis system for primary aldosteronism are integrated with screening, confirmed and typing diagnosis functions, thus providing a reliable laboratory examination basis for clinicians to formulate an effective therapeutic regimen.
