Abstract We applied the Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique (EMIT; Syva Corp., Palo Alto, CA) for determination of serum digoxin to the ABA-100 bichromatic analyzer. Assay conditions were almost exactly as prescribed for the manual procedure, but the ABA-100 offers high automation, smaller reagent volumes, and shorter reaction time. Precision studies gave CV's of less than 10%. Sixty patients' samples, analyzed for digoxin by radioimmunoassay and this enzyme immunoassay, gave a correlation (r) of 0.941. Results obtained with the ABA-100 were apparently slightly higher. One kit provides reagents for 250 assays, as compared to 70 assays with the manual procedure. In an emergency situation a result will be available about 60 min after the patient's sample is received; one operator can analyze about 120 samples in 8 h.

Abstract A new semiautomatic procedure for determination of total serum thyroxine was adapted to a kinetic analyzer, LKB 2086 Mark II. The ABA thyroxine assay kit was used, and although the assay procedure was modified, the advantage of small reagent volumes, short measuring times, and automation were retained. The results were analyzed off-line with a programmable desk-top calculator. The method has a precision of 7% (CV) and a sensitivity of 8 nmol/L. Values in sera from 64 patients analyzed by enzyme immunoassay and by radioimmunoassay correlated well (r = 0.975). One kit contains enough reagents for 500 assays, and an operator could do 25 samples (i.e., 64 assays) in about 4 h.

Abstract We examined the stability of standard curves obtained with use of homogeneous enzyme immunoassay reagents (EMIT; Syva Corp., Palo Alto, CA) for assay of lidocaine, procainamide, N-acetylprocainamide, gentamicin, and theophylline, when stored at room temperature (23-24 degrees C) after reconstitution of the lyophilized materials. Standards were run and curves obtained for as long as 16 days after reconstitution. All standard curves were acceptable, according to the criteria specified in Syva product literature. Absorbance changes for all calibrators, including the zero calibrator, increased gradually with time. Increases of non-zero calibrators were largely offset by a parallel increase in the zero calibrator, such that the quantity delta A--delta A0 was very nearly constant with time. Standard curves based on the quantity delta A--delta A0 can be used for longer than curves based only on delta A.
