In an interlaboratory comparison of two continuous-flow analytical procedures for measuring thiocyanate, we used ferric nitrate (y) and p-phenylenediamine/pyridine (x) as colorimetric reagents to measure its concentrations in plasma of 100 consecutive patients attending a peripheral vascular disease clinic. The results correlated well (r = 0.987, p less than 0.001; y = 0.938x + 1.2 mumol/L). Ho...
