Abstract:
Total and tartrate inhibited acid phosphatase was determined on the Technicon Chem 1 and evaluated against a Cobas-Bio centrifugal analysis procedure and an immunochemical method. Precision and reference range studies were performed for the Chem 1 acid phosphatase procedure and correlation was established with the other methods. The Chem 1 method for measuring total and prostatic acid phosphatase is a sensitive method with good correlation to the centrifugal analysis and the immunochemical method. The assay is fully automated and requires no manual off-line sample preparation.
