Hemoglobin interference with Du Pont Automatic Clinical Analyzer procedure for calcium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hemoglobin in concentrations of approximately 2.5 g/liter or greater significantly increases values for apparent calcium in serum as determined with the Du Pont aca, an interference attributable to the 575-nm absorption band of oxyhemoglobin being uncompensated by the 577--600 nm differential absorption reading of the calcium o-cresolphthalein complexone complex.

Evaluation of the revised serum calcium procedure used with the Du Pont automatic clinical analyzer.
We evaluated a revised serum calcium method (o-cresolphthalein complexone) used with the Du Pont aca. Our results correlated well with those obtained by atomic absorption spectrometry. Within-run and day-to-day coefficients of variation were 0.5 and 1.5%, respectively. Color produced and calcium concentration are linearly related and the relation is not affected by hemolysis, lipemia, or icterus.
متن کاملEvaluation of the enzymatic ammonia method for urine on the Du Pont automatic clinical analyzer.
The enzymatic method for ammonia with the Du Pont Automatic Clinical Analyzer was tested in our laboratory. The method is very suitable for urine samples although the method was released by Du Pont only for plasma samples. The results correlated well with those obtained by a method based on the Berthelot indophenol reaction and by a method based on the use of an ammonium electrode, which has an...
متن کاملInterference by hemolysis with various methods for total calcium and its correction by trichloroacetic acid precipitation.
We evaluated the influence of hemolysis on total serum calcium as determined with the Du Pont aca, SMA 12/60, Ektachem 400, Corning 940 EGTA titrator, and the Beckman Astra 8, comparing results with those obtained by atomic absorption spectroscopy. We find that hemoglobin does not influence calcium measurements with the SMA 12/60, Ektachem 400, or Beckman Astra 8. The presence of hemoglobin exc...
متن کاملNegative interference with the Du Pont aca method for measuring digoxin.
In response to a recent Letter (1) concerning the digoxin method in the aca Discrete Clinical Analyzer, the Dii Pont Company would like to offer the following. As in any enzyme immunoassay, the possibility existsthattheenzyme could be either activated or inhibited by drugs and (or) nonspecific substances, resulting in reported values that do not reflect true concentrations of the drug. We have ...
متن کاملAn evaluation of the Du Pont aca IV: does it meet medical needs?
A new bench-top analyzer from Du Pont, the "aca IV," was evaluated. To do so, we performed 10 different tests during an eight-week test period. The instrument is very precise (CVs less than 2%), results agree well with those obtained with the older acas (II and III), linearity is good in the clinically important ranges, and there is very little drift or carryover. From a medical-needs viewpoint...
