Analytical Range is a Poor Metric for Comparing Newborn Screening Assay Performance

A major goal of any newborn screening laboratory is to adopt screening methods that best identify those at-risk for a particular disorder. Although the term analytical range has recently been presented as a metric for method performance comparison for newborn screening of lysosomal storage disorders, it is a poor comparator of assay platforms.
