Six osteocalcin assays compared.
We evaluated comparatively six commercially available osteocalcin kits: ELSA-OST-NAT IRMA (CIS), ELSA-Osteo IRMA (CIS), Osteocalcin IRMA (Nichols), OSTK-PR RIA (CIS), OSCA Test Osteocalcin RIA (Henning), and Osteocalcin RIA (Nichols). All of them presented acceptable values of variance, sensitivity, and serial dilutions. However, only the ELSA-OST-NAT, ELSA-Osteo, and OSCA Test kits had analyti...
متن کاملCommercial assays for serum osteocalcin give clinically discordant results.
Serum samples from 9 healthy controls and from subjects with primary hyperparathyroidism (n = 5), Paget disease (n = 3), pregnancy (n = 5), glucocorticoid therapy (n = 5), postmenopausal osteoporosis (n = 10), and renal failure (n = 10) were used to assess the clinical agreement among eight commercially available assay kits for osteocalcin (OC). These kits differ in their assay configurations (...
متن کاملTwo bone alkaline phosphatase assays compared with osteocalcin as a marker of bone formation in healthy elderly women.
Serum bone alkaline phosphatase (ALP; EC 3.1.3.1) was measured with a wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) precipitation assay and with a new IRMA in a group of healthy elderly women. Both assays were correlated with serum total ALP activity and with osteocalcin. The two bone ALP assays have comparable within- and between-run imprecisions (WGA assay within-run CVs 2.6-5.4% and between-run, 4.0-5.1%; IRM...
متن کاملThree assays for glycohemoglobin compared.
Using 123 specimens, we compared the concordance of three different methods for determining glycohemoglobin (GHb): the Diamat (Bio-Rad Laboratories), an automated analyzer measuring HbA1c by cation-exchange chromatography; an assay with the IMx analyzer (Abbott Laboratories), based on boronate affinity binding; and an HPLC method measuring HbA1c by cation-exchange chromatography on a PolyCAT A ...
متن کاملNine rheumatoid factor assays compared.
In this study we have investigated five quantitative and three semi-quantitative rheumatoid factor assays and the Rose-Waaler assay in 120 patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and in 76 with other systemic diseases. All tests measure the IgM anti-IgG antibodies. The correlations between the quantitative tests were all higher than 0.86 and much better than between the quantitative and se...
