Simple, reliable chromatographic measurement of oxalate in urine.

چکیده
In this assay for oxalate in urine, oxalate is adsorbed from the urine onto graphitized carbon black (Carbopack B). After desorption and removal of the solvent, oxalic acid is gas-chromatographically measured after being derivatized with BF3/methanol. Chromatography is on Carbopack B/polyethylene glycol (Mr 20000), 93.7/6.3 by weight. The lower limit of detection of urinary oxalate is about 3 mg/L (CV less than or equal to 3.6%). A series of oxalate determinations in 24-h urine samples of 15 subjects gave a mean of 47.1 (SD 15.4) mg/24 h, with an analytical recovery of 97.4% (SD 3.0%, range 93.6-102.4%). Total analysis time for one sample is about 2 h.

Ion-chromatographic measurement of oxalate in unprocessed urine.
We describe a sensitive, simple technique for determining urinary oxalate. Urine, diluted as necessary with distilled water, is injected into an ion chromatograph. Oxalate is detected conductimetrically as a distinct peak near the tail of the chromatogram. This peak specifically represents oxalate, because it is abolished if the sample is treated with oxalate decarboxylase. We have used this te...

In this study, a high-performance liquid chromatographic method (HPLC) and UV spectrophotometric method were developed, validated and applied for the determination of theophylline in biological fluids. Liquid- liquid extraction is performed for isolation of the drug and elimination of plasma and saliva interferences. Urine samples were applied without any extraction. The chromatographic separat...

متن کاملModified enzyme-based colorimetric assay of urinary and plasma oxalate with improved sensitivity and no ascorbate interference: reference values and sample handling procedures.
The measurement of oxalate in urine and plasma continues to be difficult, particularly in the presence of ascorbate. We have modified and validated a colorimetric assay involving the use of oxalate oxidase (EC 1.2.3.4). Modification of an HPLC spectrophotometric detector improved sensitivity (to as much as 1000-fold that of conventional spectrophotometers) and allowed measurement of oxalate con...
متن کاملMeasurement of urinary oxalate: an enzymatic and an ion chromatographic method compared.
An ion chromatographic and an enzymatic method for determination of oxalic acid in urine were compared on the basis of reliability and practicability. Both methods displayed a within-run imprecision of under 5% and a total imprecision of under 10%. The mean recovery of 0.2 mmol/l sodium oxalate lay close to 100% for both methods. After 80 parallel determinations, both methods produced statistic...
