Specific Enzymatic Determination of Glucose in Blood Serum or Plasma by an Automatic Potentiometric Reaction-Rate Method

Abstract A new automatic potentiometric reaction-rate method has been applied to the specific enzymatic measurement of glucose in blood plasma or serum. A new filtering technic is described for removal of precipitated protein. The use of injection pipets to simplify and speed up the reagent-and sample-handling step is described. Glucose is determined in 0.02 ml. of serum or plasma with relative errors within 2%. The average measurement time is about 30 sec.

Lithium Lactate

Abstract We describe an automated enzymatic reaction-rate method for spectrophotometric determination of lactate in serum with a miniature centrifugal analyzer. The L(+)-lactate is selectively oxidized in the presence of lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) and NAD+ to from NADH, whitch is measured from its absorption. Reaction rates are determined automatically, and unknown concentrations are calculated from a computer0generated calibration curve with aqueous lithium lactate standards. Lactte concentrations in the range 0.32-1.6 µg/4 µl (80-400 mg/liter) of sample were determined with relative errors and coefficient of variation of 4.8%. Analytical recovery of lactate added to pooled serum was 89-112% (average, 101%). Comparison with a kit ("Rapid Lactate") method gave a correlation coefficient squared of 0.979 over a concentration range of 39-779 mg/liter.

Abstract An automatic reaction rate method is described for the determination of lactic acid in blood. The L(+)-lactic acid is selectively oxidized in the presence of lactic dehydrogenase and diphosphopyridine nucleotide to form an absorbing species. The time required for the formation of a fixed amount of DANH is measured automatically and related directly to the lactic acid concentration. The method is sensitive, more rapid than purely chemical procedures, and relative errors are only about 1-3% for the range 6-200 µg of lactic acid. The coefficient of variation for the determination of lactic acid in 0.2 ml of blood is 3%. Measurement times vary from a few seconds to about 2 min.

Serum And Urine

Abstract We describe an automated spectrophotometric reaction-rate method for determination of ethanol in serum and urine with a miniature centrifugal analyzer. The theanol is selectively oxidized in the presence of alcochol dehydrogenase and NAD+ to form NADH, which is measured by the rate of change of its absorbance. Reaction rates are determined automatically, and unknown concentrations are calculated from a computer-generated working curve based on aqueous ethanol standards. Blood, serum, or urine specimens need not be deproteinized. The method permits duplicate analysis of at least 30 samples per hour. Coefficients of variation and relative errors are about 2-3% for ethanol concentrations of 0.3-3.0 mug per 2 mul of sample. Analytical recovery of ethanol added to serum is 92-103% (average, 98.5%). Comparisons with distillation-oxidation, gas-chromatographic, and conventional enzymic procedures give satisfactory agreement.
