Title: Competitive immunoassay of phenobarbital by microchip electrophoresis with laser induced fluorescence detection. Author: Huang Y, Zhao S, Shi M, Liu J, Liang H. Journal: Anal Chim Acta; 2011 May 23; 694(1-2):162-6. PubMed ID: 21565317. Abstract: A microchip electrophoresis method with laser induced fluorescence detection was developed for the immunoassay of phenobarbital. The detection was based on the competitive immunoreaction between analyte phenobarbital and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled phenobarbital with a limited amount of antibody. The assay was developed by varying the borate concentration, buffer pH, separation voltage, and incubation time. A running buffer system containing 35 mM borate and 15 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (pH 9.5), and 2800 V separation voltage provided analysis conditions for a high-resolution, sensitive, and repeatable assay of phenobarbital. Free FITC-labeled phenobarbital and immunocomplex were separated within 30s. The calibration curve for phenobarbital had a detection limit of 3.4 nM and a range of 8.6-860.0 nM. The assay could be used to determine the phenobarbital plasma concentration in clinical plasma sample.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
