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.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007120 Immunochemistry Field of chemistry that pertains to immunological phenomena and the study of chemical reactions related to antigen stimulation of tissues. It includes physicochemical interactions between antigens and antibodies.
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D002498 Centrifugation Process of using a rotating machine to generate centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities, remove moisture, or simulate gravitational effects. It employs a large motor-driven apparatus with a long arm, at the end of which human and animal subjects, biological specimens, or equipment can be revolved and rotated at various speeds to study gravitational effects.
