چکیده
We describe the interlaboratory testing of a candidate Reference Method (Part I) for uric acid in serum. The method is based on the ultrasound spectrophotometric quantitation of uric acid before and after incubation with uricase. A comprehensive investigation involving 12 laboratories was organized to document the transferability, intra- and interlaboratory precision, and general reliability of the candidate Reference Method. The interlaboratory CV with this method was about 2 to 6% for uric acid concentrations ranging from 0.12 to 0.60 mmol/L. The results detailed here demonstrate that the method can be successfully duplicated among different laboratories.

A candidate reference method for uric acid in serum. I. Optimization and evaluation.
We describe our optimization and evaluation of a candidate Reference Method for uric acid in serum. Reaction parameters were optimized for a manual, enzymic method for uric acid in which highly purified microbial uricase is used to quantitate uric acid by a differential ultraviolet procedure. We evaluated the method in terms of freedom from interferences, analytical recovery, precision, and com...
متن کاملFour methods for determining uric acid compared with a candidate reference method.
Uric acid as measured in serum by three different uricase (EC 1.7.3.3) methods (aca, Ektachem, and SMAC) and by the SMAC method with phosphotungstic acid was compared with a candidate Reference Method for uric acid. Serum specimens from 83 patients (uric acid concentrations, 19 to 141 mg/L) were analyzed by all five methods. Results were compared by using linear regression analysis, and the mea...
