چکیده

Topiramate is a newer anticonvulsant used to treat epilepsy, migraines, bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress, and other conditions. Serum topiramate concentrations are measured to determine optimal levels, address therapeutic failure or drug–drug interactions, and assess compliance. Two high-throughput assays for serum topiramate measurement were compared: the Seradyn fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) on an Abbott TDx/FLx instrument and a new immunoassay from ARK Diagnostics performed on an Olympus AU680 automated analyzer. Precision, linearity, limit of quantitation, carryover, spike recovery, and endogenous interferences were found to be acceptable for the ARK assay. These studies were complemented by comparison of 120 patient samples analyzed using both methods. The ARK immunoassay performed comparably to FPIA with minimal difference in serum topiramate concentrations within the therapeutic range (2.0–20 mg/mL). A slight systematic discordance was observed at higher concentrations (greater than 30 mg/mL) with ARK immunoassay results being on average 6% higher than FPIA. Thus, the ARK immunoassay appears to provide acceptable analytical performance and comparability to FPIA; furthermore, the assay is compatible with high-throughput autoanalyzers.

Evaluation of an automated fluorescence polarization immunoassay for vancomycin.

An automated fluorescence polarization immunoassay for the determination of vancomycin levels in serum was evaluated. The vancomycin assay is a homogeneous competitive inhibition immunoassay based on changes in fluorescence polarization that occur with antibody binding. This assay was compared with a liquid chromatographic assay and an agar well diffusion bioassay method by using clinical serum...

Comparison of enzyme-multiplied immunoassay technique with fluorescence polarization immunoassay for determination of gentamicin and tobramycin levels in serum.

We assayed serum gentamicin and tobramycin specimens by the enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique (Syva EMIT) and the fluorescence polarization immunoassay (Abbott TDx). When interassay and intraassay control samples were evaluated, both methods gave an overall coefficient of variation of less than +/- 10%. Using patient serum samples, we obtained excellent correlation with both methods in th...

Evaluation of fluorescence polarization immunoassay for serum thyroxine determination.

We have evaluated a fluorescence polarization immunoassay for thyroxine (T4) using the polarization analyzer IBF-129. Fluorescence polarization could be measured within 20 to 23 seconds after addition of fluorescein labeled thyroxine. The method exhibited excellent specificity and acceptable accuracy. The average intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were 4.8 and 12.3%, resepectively...
