Evaluation of automated enzyme immunoassays for five anticonvulsants and theophylline adapted to a centrifugal analyzer.

چکیده
We report a clinical evaluation of the enzyme immunoassay (EMIT) performed with the GEMSAEC centrifugal analyzer as compared to gas-liquid and liquid chromatography for anticonvulsant drugs and theophylline, respectively. A good correlation was obtained for all drugs, although some difficulties were experienced with one lot of reagent for ethosuximide. The analyzer has an economic advantage if many samples are being analyzed for few drugs in each sample.

Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for theophylline with a centrifugal analyzer.
A rapid homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for theophylline has been adapted to a centrifugal analyzer. The sample volume used was 10 microliter and sera from as many as 28 patients could be measured in 180 seconds. The assay temperature was 30 degrees and the absorbance rates were measured at 340 nm. Within-run and run-to-run precision showed a coefficient of variation of less than 2.6 and 7.5 per...

Our homogeneous immunoprecipitation inhibition assay (Clin. Chem. 28:659-661, 1982) is applied here to tobramycin, phenobarbital, and theophylline. Only 10-50 microL of test sample is needed. No sample treatment, dilution, or extraction is required. A test serum sample is simultaneously mixed with a drug conjugate and its specific antiserum in a centrifugal analyzer. The subsequent reaction and...

Background: Since the introduction of the first radioimmunoassay, several improvements have been made in the design of immunoassays such as method of antibody production, labeling, automation and detection technology. We performed an analytical evaluation of the new electrochemiluminescent immunoassay (ECLIA) for serum TSH, FT4 and T3 in the Elecsys 2010 immunoassay system and compared the resu...
