Comparison of double- and single-isotope enzymatic derivative methods for measuring catecholamines in human plasma.
Abstract
We directly compared the reliability of a single-isotope enzymatic derivative technique for measurement of plasma catecholamines with that of the well-established double-isotope method. A significant (p less than 0.001) correlation was observed between measurements (n = 52) in the two assays, both for norepinephrine (r = 0.97) and epinephrine (r = 0.80). Means and coefficients of variation for the two analytes in a pooled specimen of plasma, measured repeatedly during six months, were virtually identical by each assay method. Basal plasma catecholamine concentrations in two different groups of apparently healthy subjects were also similar by each method. Dopamine concentrations in plasma were consistently below the limits measurable by either technique. The single-isotope assay requires half the assay time and 1/200th the sample as the double-isotope method. We conclude that this assay is just as reliable as the double-isotope technique and gives virtually identical values for norepinephrine and epinephrine concentrations in the physiological range.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
