Adaptations of enzyme immunoassay for thyroxine.

چکیده
We expect and encourage narrow performance ranges within-laboratory, since it is here that the greatest control over laboratory error is possible. This is well illustrated by Gilbert (2), where he indicates that about two-thirds of the inter-laboratory error is attributable to within-laboratory performance characteristics. We thank Dr. Bogdan for his letter and are grateful for the opportunity to clarify this issue.

Enzyme immunoassay of serum thyroxine with the "Autochemist" multichannel analyzer.
We have modified the homogeneous enzyme immunoassay of thyroxine and have adapted it to the AutoChemist. Both enzyme immunoassay and radioimmunnoassay procedures were performed on 2016 patients' sera on which thyroxine determinations had been ordered. We find the automated enzyme immunoassay to be precise and accurate, and for the first time it permits total automation of an immunoassay on a mu...
متن کاملEvaluation of homogeneous enzyme immunoassay of serum thyroxine with the Gilford 3500 analyzer.
I evaluated homogeneous enzyme immunoassay (EMIT) of serum thyroxine with the Gilford 3500 analyzer. The samples are pretreated before quantitation on the Gilford 3500; the procedure thereafter is entirely mechanized. Forty-four samples may be analyzed per run. Precision and accuracy are good, and results correlate well with those by radioimmunoassay.
متن کاملEvaluation of the manual enzyme immunoassay (EMIT) procedure for determination of serum thyroxine.
Our experience with the determination of thyroxine (T4) in serum using a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay technique (EMIT, Syva Corp.) is reported. The intra-assay precision of the EMIT Manual Thyroxine Assay was investigated with 2 different calibrator concentrations and showed coefficients of variation varying from 5--2% for thyroxine concentrations of 40 and 120 micrograms/l thyroxine respecti...
متن کاملEnzyme immunoassay for thyroxine and triiodothyronine in human serum, with use of a covalent chromatographic separation method.
A practicable enzyme immunoassay for measurement of thyroxine and triiodothyronine in serum was developed, involving a separation method based on the thiol-disulfide interchange reaction. Serum samples at alkaline pH were incubated for 1 h with antibodies and antigens labeled with beta-D-galactosidase. Each reaction mixture was then passed through a 0.1-mL column containing (anti-IgG) antibody ...
متن کاملA sensitive manual enzyme immunoassay for thyroxine.
We describe an immunoassay for thyroxine in serum. In the assay specific antibody covalently bonded to latex particles is used, along with horseradish peroxidase as the label, and o-phenylenediamine as the chromogen. The flexible protocol is designed for manual execution. Performance is similar to that of the highest-sensitivity thyroxine radioimmunoassays. Results correlate well with radioimmu...
