Whole Blood Robotic Cholinesterase Assay for Organophosphate Exposure - Testing Soldiers, First Responders, and Civilians in the Field and Laboratory

Exposure to organophosphate (OP) chemical warfare agents (CWAs), pesticides, anesthetics, drugs such as cocaine, and a variety of therapeutic drugs including donepezil or rivastigmine for Alzheimer’s disease reduces red blood cell acetylcholinesterase (RBC-AChE) or serum butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity. The activity of RBC-AChE and BChE can be used as potential biomarkers of suppressed an...

Repeatability and validity of a field kit for estimation of cholinesterase in whole blood.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate a spectrophotometric field kit (Test-Mate-OP) for repeatability and validity in comparison with reference laboratory methods and to model its anticipated sensitivity and specificity based on these findings. METHODS 76 farm workers between the age of 20 and 55, of whom 30 were pesticide applicators exposed to a range of organophosphates in the preceding 10 days, had bloo...

Comparative study of rabbit pyrogen test and human whole blood assay on human serum albumin.

A comparative study of rabbit pyrogen test and human whole blood assay was performed on released preparations of human serum albumin. In addition, the samples were spiked with 5 IU/ml (in whole blood 0.5 IU/ml too) and 10 IU endotoxin/ml. The unspiked samples were negative in both assays. The human whole blood test resulted in the same level of security for the products as the rabbit pyrogen te...
