  • Title: Amikacin assay: correlation between rapid bioassay, enzyme immuno-assay (EMIT) and fluoro-immuno-assay (FIA).
    Author: Damien JM, Courcol RJ, Houdret N, Lhermitte M, Martin GR.
    Journal: Ann Biol Clin (Paris); 1984; 42(3):217-20. PubMed ID: 6383130.
    Abstract:
    Three methods (rapid bioassay, enzyme immunoassay and fluoroimmunoassay) for the determination of amikacin level in serum are compared. The statistical analysis of the results show correlation coefficients equal to 0.967 (EMIT versus FIA), 0.970 (bioassay versus FIA) and 0.983 (bioassay versus EMIT). The three methods are acceptable for routine clinical use. The enzyme immunoassay adapted on a centrifugal analyzer appears to be a method of choice for laboratories with a large workload. However, the rapid bioassay described in this paper remains adequate for laboratories testing 5 to 10 sera per day.
