Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.1) activity in human erythrocytes was measured using capillary electrophoresis. Enzyme samples were directly loaded into the capillary without preconcentration or purification. The electrophoretic separations were carried out in an uncoated fused-silica capillary (75 microm internal diameter, effective length of 45 cm, total 72 cm) at an electric field of 415 V/cm at ambient temperature (25 degrees C). UV detection at 200 nm was used. Borate buffer (100 mmol/l, pH 9.5) was used as background electrolyte. The results obtained by CE compared favourably (r=0.989) with those of standard HPLC methods. The method presented is reliable, slightly faster and less expensive than the routinely performed HPLC method.

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
