Title: Comparison of the radioisotope dilution-coated charcoal method and a microbiological method (L. leichmannii) for measuring vitamin B12 in serum. Author: Raven JL, Walker PL, Barkhan P. Journal: J Clin Pathol; 1966 Nov; 19(6):610-3. PubMed ID: 5333257. Abstract: A comparison has been made of the radioisotope dilution-coated charcoal method and a microbiological assay (with L. leichmannii as test organism) for determining the concentration of vitamin B(12) in serum. A satisfactory correlation was found between the results of the two methods. Under appropriate conditions the reproducibility of the radioisotope method compared favourably with that of the microbiological method.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
