Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to methods and kits for high throughput screening and analysis of metabolic disorders using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) are provided. The metabolic disorders can be amino acid, organic acid or fatty acid oxidation disorders, and particularly urea cycle disorders or defiencies, hyperammoneamia, Hyperornithinemia-hyperammonenia-homocitrullinuria (HHH), and/or argininosuccinic aciduria. The methods and kits are particularly useful for newborn screening (NBS) of metabolic disorders.
