Improved susceptibility disk assay method employing an agar overlay technique.
Susceptibility disks impregnated with 35 different antibiotics were assayed by the current Code of Federal Regulations method and by a new method employing an agar overlay. The new method, a simplified analytical procedure, exhibited improvement in zone definition and an increase in dose response. Assays performed by the new method were accurate and precise. The agar overlay technique appears t...
متن کاملRadioenzymatic assay of catecholamines in plasma after a preliminary solvent extraction compared with an analogous liquid-chromatographic method.
Catechol-borate complexation and ion-pair formation combined with organic solvent extraction as preliminaries to radioenzymatic assay (REA) with catechol-O-methyltransferase-catalyzed methylation allows the quantification of catecholamines in plasma samples of any volume. We attained improved detection limits for 1-mL samples: 9 ng/L for norepinephrine (NE), 8 ng/L for epinephrine (E), and 11 n...
متن کاملAssessing an Improved Protocol for Plasma microRNA Extraction
The first step in biomarkers discovery is to identify the best protocols for their purification and analysis. This issue is critical when considering peripheral blood samples (plasma and serum) that are clinically interesting but meet several methodological problems, mainly complexity and low biomarker concentration. Analysis of small molecules, such as circulating microRNAs, should overcome th...
متن کاملImproved immunoradiometric assay for plasma renin.
BACKGROUND Our renin IRMA overestimated renin in plasmas with high prorenin-to-renin ratios. We suspected that the overestimation of renin was caused less by cross-reactivity of the renin-specific antibody with prorenin than by a conformational change of prorenin into an enzymatically active form during the assay. METHODS Because the inactive form of prorenin converts slowly into an active fo...
متن کاملQuantitation of plasma testosterone by improved competitive protein-binding technique.
A method is described for quantitation of testosterone in plasma from females and males. The principal operations of extraction, chromatographic fractionation, and competitive protein-binding assay can be completed for eight duplicate samples in a single day. Experimental data used in the development of the test and the rationale for the specific operations and conditions are presented. The spe...
