The specialist fatty acid testing brand of Masdiag Pty Ltd — a PhD-led diagnostic laboratory with over 13 years in diagnostics, delivering precision fatty acid analysis from dried blood spots and liquid blood samples to B2B partners worldwide.
Fatty Acid Labs is the specialist fatty acid testing brand of Masdiag Pty Ltd, a PhD-led diagnostic laboratory with more than 13 years of experience in clinical and research diagnostics. We specialise in fatty acid analysis from dried blood spots (DBS) and liquid blood samples — including whole blood, red blood cell (RBC) fractions, serum, and plasma — using gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection (GC-FID), the gold-standard methodology for quantifying fatty acid composition in biological samples.
Our laboratory was purpose-built to serve organisations that need reliable, scalable, and clinically validated fatty acid testing. From Omega-3 Index screening to full 24-analyte fatty acid profiles, every test we offer is designed for precision, reproducibility, and fast turnaround.
We operate a multi-platform analytical laboratory equipped with the instrumentation needed for advanced bioanalytical work. Our capabilities span LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry), GC-FID (gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection), GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry), ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), CLIA (chemiluminescence immunoassay), NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), and EDXRF (energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence).
Our mission is to make fatty acid testing accessible, reliable, and scalable for B2B partners worldwide. We believe that fatty acid status is one of the most important — and most undertested — biomarkers in preventive medicine. By combining validated DBS and liquid blood sample collection methods with high-throughput GC-FID analysis, we deliver results from sample to report in days, not weeks.
We exist to remove the barriers that have historically limited fatty acid testing: complex sample collection, high costs, slow turnaround, and limited availability. Our partners — healthcare professionals, supplement brands, researchers, and distributors — can offer world-class fatty acid testing without building their own laboratory infrastructure.
Quality is the foundation of everything we do. Our laboratory participates in multiple international external quality assurance and proficiency testing schemes to ensure our results meet the highest standards of analytical accuracy and inter-laboratory agreement.
We are active participants in ERNDIM (European Research Network for evaluation and improvement of screening, Diagnosis and treatment of Inherited disorders of Metabolism), RCPAQAP (Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia Quality Assurance Programs), DEQAS (Vitamin D External Quality Assessment Scheme), NSQAP (Newborn Screening Quality Assurance Program, CDC), and QUARTZ proficiency schemes. Our laboratory operates under a full Quality Management System (QMS) covering all pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical processes.
Our team includes 8 PhDs on staff, with approximately 80% of our workforce focused on research and development. This R&D-heavy structure ensures that our methods stay at the cutting edge of analytical science and that we continuously improve our testing capabilities.
Collectively, our team has contributed to more than 30 peer-reviewed publications in metabolomics, fatty acid biochemistry, newborn screening, and clinical diagnostics. Our scientific expertise underpins every test we offer and every result we report.
