Abstract A method is described for construction of a nomogram, based on the Henderson Hasselbalch equation, with which photometric pH values can be calculated from the absorbance of an indicator in a sample and the absorbance of the indicator in a single standard solution. Thereby the necessity of preparing calibration curves from a series of standard solutions is avoided. The procedure is particularly convenient when the stock solution of the indicator is subject to slow fading, as in the case of phenol red. An application of the procedure to the photometric determination of the pH of human plasma is detailed and the results are compared with those obtained with a glass electrode.

The objective of the present work was the development of a micro-pH meter for the determination of the pH value within bioreactors with a volume of up to 200 μl in total. Two different prototypes of optodes were designed and tested. In a first approach spectroscopic analysis of bromothymol blue in a micro-sized-channel structure was carried out utilizing glass fibers, enabling measurements in sample volumes down to the range of picoliters. In a second approach a different illumination system consisting of a RGB-sensor and a LED light source was used. Phenol red was successfully applied as the pH indicator for this setup.

Abstract The appearance of kits for the determination of micro amounts of calcium stimulated our interest in the use of Eriochrome Blue SE for this analysis. A study of spectrophotometric curves indicates that, at pH values above 13.7, calcium will complex and cause a change of dye absorbance while magnesium does not complex with the dye. A differential spectrophotometric technic is described in this paper in which the spectrophotometer is set at zero absorbance with a dye-calcium standard solution or a dye-calcium sample solution as reference and the absorbance of the dye solution then measured. For a set of standards the absorbance-calcium relationship is linear. With the Beckman spectrophotometer, Model DU, it has been found that 1 part of serum to 100 parts of alkaline dye solution (100 λ of serum to 10 ml. alkaline dye solution) can be used. The technic shows greater sensitivity and accuracy than do previous methods using Eriochrome Blue SE.

SummaryEffects due to plasma plasminogen activators and proactivators are usually studied in assay systems where inhibitors influence the activity and where the degree of activation of proactivators is unknown. Quantitative information on activator and proactivator levels in plasma is therefore not availableStudies on the precipitating and activating properties of dextran sulphate in euglobulin fractionation presented in this paper resulted in the preparation of a fraction in which there was optimal recovery and optimal activation of a number of plasminogen activators and proactivators from human plasma. The quantitative assay of these activators on plasminogen-rich fibrin plates required the addition of flufenamate to eliminate inhibitors. The response on the fibrin plates (lysed zones) could be coverted to arbitrary blood activator units (BAU). Consequently, a new activator assay which enables one to quantitatively determine the plasma level of plasminogen activators and proactivators together is introduced.Two different contributions could be distinguished: an activity originating from extrinsic activator and one originating from intrinsic proactivators. The former could be assayed separately by means of its resistance to inhibition by Cl-inactivator. Considering the relative concentrations of extrinsic and intrinsic activators, an impression of the pattern of activator content in plasma was gained. In morning plasma with baseline levels of fibrinolysis, the amount of extrinsic activator was negligible as compared to the level of potentially active intrinsic activators. Consequently, the new assay nearly exclusively determines the level of intrinsic activators in morning plasma. A pilot study gave a fairly stable level of 100 ± 15 BAU/ml (n = 50). When fibrinolysis was stimulated by venous occlusion (15 min), the amount of extrinsic activator was greatly increased, reaching a total activator level of 249 ± 27 BAU/ml (n = 7).

Plasmin Inhibitors

SummaryA new method for the assay of plasmin inhibitors in human plasma is described. The method consists of determination of the caseinolytic activity of a standard plasmin solution before and after incubation with the inhibitor, with lysine added to the mixture as a stabilizer of plasmin. Using this method, it was found that plasma contains enough inhibitors to inactivate 30 caseinolytic units of plasmin, or 10 times the normal amount of plasminogen in human plasma.

Single Determination

SummaryA one-stage lysis time system containing fibrinogen, streptokinase, thrombin, and a known, small amount of plasminogen was used to determine plasminogen in plasma.The known amount of plasminogen was added to the system in order to keep the lysis times relatively short when a highly diluted plasma was tested. High dilutions of plasma were used to reduce the influence of the plasma inhibitors.The calculation of the plasminogen concentration was made on the basis of the correlation: “plasminogen = fibrinogen/lysis time” which was valid in the system. The method allowed determination of plasminogen in plasma with varying fibrinogen concentrations, as the fibrinogen concentration in plasma was considered in the calculation.The presence of “spontaneous” plasmin activity in the plasma did not influence the plasminogen determination. Estimated by this method, the plasminogen content in plasma from 32 blood donors aged 25-45 years was 13.1 ±2.4 casein u/ml. The error of a single determination was 0.3 casein u/ml. The plasminogen content in plasma, determined with the present method, is about 3-4 times higher than the content found when a caseinolytic method is used.
