NeoReactomicsReactomics in Newborn Screening
The patented technology enables the measurement of multiple enzymatic activities from a single dried blood spot punch, expanding the scope of reactomics.
With straightforward sample preparation and a fluorescence-based readout, this platform has the potential to support scalable functional assays for newborn screening, including both first-tier and second-tier testing.
During 2025 and 2026, we have been working to validate our technology through the MetabPlus program, focusing on a panel of 83 enzymes selected according to clinical criteria, including their association with severe pediatric disorders for which effective treatments are available.
No matching substrates.
The program combines experimental studies with neonatal and adult data to assess the platform’s analytical performance.
MetabPlus is a public–private collaboration between IBIMA Plataforma BIONAND and Reactomix, S.L., with participation from CSIC, the IBIMA Chemistry Platform, and the Eastern Andalusia Newborn Screening Laboratory at Hospital Materno Infantil de Málaga.
The program receives public funding from the Spanish Ministry of Science and the European Union.
Advancing towards a functional approach to complement metabolic and genomic newborn screening.
Designed to measure the activity of 83 enzymes selected for clinical relevance, using a single dried blood spot (DBS) punch and fluorescence detection.
In the liquid format, the complete workflow takes approximately 4 hours per plate, including a 90-minute incubation.
