[An electrochemical method of determining peroxidase in saliva]
Abstract:
Electrochemical method has been developed for measuring human salivary peroxidase. Salivary peroxidase levels were measured in donors in various hours of the day, in girls in various periods of the cycle, and in myocardial infarction patients. The results may be used to develop rapid methods for assessment of ovarian functional activity and for prediction of myocardial infarction outcome. Electrochemical analysis productivity is 360 samples per hour, the minimal peroxidase concentration detectable is 5.10(-12) M.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
