An automated salicylate method utilizing an American Monitor KDA

1. A method for the analysis of salicylate in serum is described utilizing an American Monitor KDA. The method correlated well with a manual Trinder method. 2. The within-run coefficient of variation at a salicylate level of 4.4 mg/dl was 2.9%, 0.71% at a level of 16.5 mg/dl and 0.71% at a level of 62.6% mg/dl. 3. The day-to-day coefficient of variation was found to be 8.1% at a salicylate level of 13.1 and 1.3% at a level of 39.0 mg/dl.
