    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for enzymatic detection of biotinidase activity. In certain aspects, the invention provides methods for bench-based enzymatic detection of biotinidase activity. In other aspects, the invention provides methods for bench-based enzymatic detection in droplets in oil. The droplet-based methods may be performed in an automated manner using digital microfluidics technology on a droplet actuator device. The enzymatic assays for biotinidase activity may be used for newborn testing for biotinidase deficiency, and may be combined with other droplet-based enzymatic assays in a panel of tests for newborn testing.
