Title: User-defined serum aspartate and alanine aminotransferase, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, and uric acid for the Beckman synchron CX 4/5 using Ames Sera-Pak reagents. Author: Lolekha PH, Nitipaichit P. Journal: J Clin Lab Anal; 1992; 6(5):245-56. PubMed ID: 1403344. Abstract: Beckman aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, and uric acid Liquid Reagents for Synchron CX 4/5 (48, 48, 25, 60, 26, and 30 cents US/test, respectively) are expensive. We have established our own methods for serum AST, ALT, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, and uric acid (6, 6, 5, 12, 13, and 6 cents US/test, respectively) using Ames Sera-Pak reagents. Linearity of our AST, ALT, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, and uric acid methods were either similar to or higher than the Beckman methods. The within run and day-to-day run precisions were acceptable. Recovery of our AST, ALT, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, and uric acid were excellent. Our results for AST, ALT, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, and uric acid correlated well with the Beckman results. Bilirubin (340.8 mumol/L) did not significantly interfere on our AST, ALT, cholesterol, triglycerides, and urea, while its concentrations of 165.8 mumol/L started giving negative interference on uric acid. Turbidity (2+) did not interfere significantly on our AST and ALT but started giving positive interference on cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, and uric acid. Hemolysis (2+) gave positive interference on our cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, and uric acid. Stability of Ames Sera-Pak working reagents was at least 30 days for AST, ALT, urea, and uric acid and 40 days for cholesterol and triglycerides.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
