Evaluation of enzyme-multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT) for determination of serum digoxin.

چکیده
Sixty-seven digoxin-containing sera were analyzed by both radioimmunoassay and EMIT. After some important modifications of the EMIT method, agreement between the two methods was very good. Reproducibility of the EMIT assay was excellent; daily variations in values found for control sera were quite small, and recovery of added digoxin was good. Slight hemolysis hadnegligible effects, but highly hemolyzed specimens gave low recoveries of digoxin.

Endogenous digoxin-like immunoreactive factors eliminated from serum samples by hydrophobic silica-gel extraction and enzyme immunoassay.
Elimination of endogenous digoxin-like immunoreactive factors (DLIF) that interfere with accurate measurement of digoxin requires use of a highly specific anti-digoxin antibody, or that DLIF be separated from digoxin before immunoassay. Several commercial digoxin-assay kits include a step for separating serum proteins and other substances from digoxin before immunoassay. We tested six different...
متن کاملAdaptation of the EMIT serum digoxin assay to a mini-disc centrifugal analyzer.
We have modified the EMIT (Syva) serum digoxin assay for use with a mini-disc centrifugal analyzer. A minicomputer is used to control data acquisition, calculations, and readout for 14 cuvettes simultaneously. Thus, it is not necessary for time each individual assay manually or to plot calibration curves on graph paper. We use incubation times and dilutions similar to those used for the manual ...
متن کاملCompetitive solid-phase enzyme immunoassay for measuring digoxin in serum.
In this clinically useful enzyme immunoassay of digoxin in serum, we mix sample, beta-galactosidase-labeled digoxin, and anti-digoxin Fab fragments for 30 min at room temperature, then use Sepharose-bound second antibody for phase separation, and measure the unbound enzyme activity directly in the supernate of the equilibrium reaction mixture. The immunoassay buffer--phosphate-buffered isotonic...
متن کاملFluorescence energy transfer immunoassay of digoxin in serum.
We have evaluated the reliability of the new fluorescence energy transfer immunoassay (FETI) for determining concentrations of digoxin in serum. The method demonstrated good stability of the standard curve and satisfactory precision in both within-and between-run assay. We have also found a significant correlation between FETI and two RIA methods (r=0.97). Furthermore, the association between r...
متن کاملSeven different digoxin immunoassay kits compared with respect to interference by a digoxin-like immunoreactive substance in serum from premature and full-term infants.
Seven different digoxin immunoassay kits showed cross reactivity with an endogenous digoxin-like immunoreactive substance consistently present in serum of neonates, whether premature or full-term. The degree of interference, in decreasing order was: NML greater than New England Nuclear greater than Bio-Rad greater than Clinical Assays greater than Becton Dickinson greater than Serono greater th...
