Potential liabilities of gentamicin homogeneous enzyme immunoassay.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report two potential liabilities of the homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for the determination of serum gentamicin. One is a considerable loss of precision and accuracy at the ends of the calibration curve, and the other is an apparent loss of gentamicin with storage at -60 degrees C.

Enzyme immunoassay of gentamicin with use of a centrifugal analyzer.
Gentamicin was determined in serum by the homogeneous enzyme immunoassay system (EMIT) adapted to the Multistat centrifugal analyzer. The standard curve can be extended to 16 mg/L; however, poor precision is obtained at concentrations greater than 10 mg/L because a small difference in change in absorbance there will produce a significant variation in gentamicin concentration. For example, the w...
متن کاملHeparin interferes with the radioenzymatic and homogeneous enzyme immunoassays for aminoglycosides.
Heparin interferes with measurement of aminoglycosides in serum by biological, radioenzymatic, and homogeneous enzyme immunoassay techniques, but not with radioimmunoassay. At concentrations greater than or equal to 10(5) and greater than or equal to 3 X 10(6) USP units/L, respectively, it interferes with the radioenzymatic assay by inhibiting the gentamicin 3-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.60) an...
متن کاملQuantitation of haptens by homogeneous immunoprecipitation. 1. Automated analysis of gentamicin in serum.
A new homogeneous immunoprecipitation inhibition assay has been developed to quantitate concentrations of hapten in human serum or plasma without the use of radioactive isotopes, enzymes, fluorescent markers, or laser nephelometers. This immunoprecipitation is based on spectrophotometric measurement of the inhibition by free hapten of the precipitating reaction between antihapten antibody and p...
متن کاملRapid, reproducible enzyme immunoassay for gentamicin.
An enzyme immunoassay for gentamicin utilizing glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was compared to the radioimmunoassay. The enzyme immunoassay for gentamicin was accurate, specific, and easily performed. It offers an ulternative method to assay aminoglycosides and could be used in institutions using enzyme immunoassay to assay other drugs.
متن کاملEvaluation of five gentamicin assay procedures for clinical microbiology laboratories.
Five gentamicin assay procedures (a bioassay, an enzyme immunoassay, a latex agglutination inhibition test, a fluorescence immunoassay, and a radioimmunoassay) were evaluated to determine which was optimal for our laboratory. The evaluation was based on recovery and precision studies and results of analyses of patient samples, as well as technical assay performance factors. The latex agglutinat...
