[Automatic assay of plasma and urinary calcium, inorganic phosphate, creatinine and uric acid. Comparison between continuous flow analysis on a single microsample and low speed centrifugation].

A device is described allowing the association on a single microsample of assay by means of continuous flow analysis. The preparation of standards, the evaluation citeria of the method are presented. The preparation of standards, the evaluation criteria of the method are presented. The results are compared to those obtained by low speed centrifugation, i.e. by means of quite different analytical prinicples -- both dynamics and chemicals. These results are discussed : they allow to observe, as a whole, an excellent concordance.

[Automated kinetic assay of plasmatic L-asparaginase activity undergoing therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia].

The L-asparaginase is a critical drug for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, that achieves blood L-asparagin depletion. However, such a therapy is associated with a high rate of negative side effects, particularly antibody synthesis against L-asparaginase. This therefore decreases therapy efficiency requiring the monitoring of L-asparaginase activity since L-asparagin determination is not easy. We compared here the results obtained with an automated kinetic enzymatic method to those obtained with the most commonly used Nessler reagent method. The correlation coefficient, r = 0,992, obtained was very good, and the allometric regression line was y = 1,038x - 0,37 microkat/L. We also showed that the specificity and the precision were better with the enzymatic method than the Nessler one. Moreover, the enzymatic method was easier and required less time to perform. Finally, the method appears able to perform real time monitoring of the therapy.
