Title: An enzymatic method for oxalate automated with the Cobas Fara centrifugal analyzer. Author: Allen LC, Kadijevic L, Romaschin AD. Journal: Clin Chem; 1989 Oct; 35(10):2098-100. PubMed ID: 2791276. Abstract: Measurement of oxalate in urine has been automated for use with the Cobas Fara centrifugal analyzer. No sample pretreatment other than (a critical) pH adjustment is required. Between-run CVs were less than 4%. Results were linearly related to oxalate concentration to 1000 mumol/L. Ascorbic acid ingestion, up to 5 g of ascorbate daily, caused no demonstrable interference with the assay. This practical, automated method for assaying urinary oxalate is substantially faster than other chemical or enzymatic methods.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
