TEST PRINCIPLE REAGENTS INTERFERENCE WAVE


LENGTH
GLU Hexokinase with ATP converts G-6PD, Hb(500) 20 L, 340, 383
GLU to glucose-6-phosphate. G- ATP,NADP BIL(20) 12 L, end point
6-PD then oxidizes it and TG(600) 10 H
simultaneously converts NADP
TO NADPH
BUN Urease splits urea to ammonia Urease, 340 rate
and co2, the former reacts with NADPH, GLDP
alpha keto gluterate to form
amine reductively and
simultaneously oxidizes
NADPH TO NADP
Crea Picric acid in strong alkaline sol Lithium picrate, 510,710
reacts with creatinine to form Naoh,
red chromophore
TBIL Diazo sulfinilic acid comp is Sodium nitrite, 540,600
formed by sod. Nitrite and hcl. Sulfinilic
sulfinilic acid. The insoluble Bil acid,
is solubilized by buffer. buffer,caffine,
sod benzoate,
disod EDTA
DBIL Diazo sulfinilic acid comp is Sodium nitrite
formed by sod. Nitrite and sulfonilic acid
sulfinilic acid hcl
URCA Uricase converts uric acid to Buffer TG at 600mg/dl 293,700
allantoin which is not absorbed stabilizers, decreases by end point
at 293nm. Disappearance of uric uricase 0.2mg
acid causes change in
absorbance
TP Cu ++ forms complex with Hb(500mg) 540,700
peptide bonds in alkaline sol to H,dextran L.
form blue sol. Tartrate prevents BIL L,

ALB Bromocresol purple(BCP) forms BCP dye, CMPF in sera of 540,600,
complex with albumin at ph 4.9 acetate buffer, CRF pts give false 700
in presence of a stabilizing surfactant low alb
agent.
AST Asparate transferase catalyzes LDH,MDH, 340,700
transamination from L-asparate NADH
to ketoglutrate forming L- Ketoglutrate
glutamate and oxaloacetate. asparatic acid,
Oxaloacetate is reduced to buffer
malate by MDH and NADPH is
oxidised
ALT ALT catalyzes transamination of LDH, NADH. 340,700
L-alanine to K Glutrate Kg,buffewr,alan
formaing L-glutamate and ine
pyruvate. Pyruvate is reduced to
lactate by LDH and NADH is
oxidized
TG Lipase splits TG into glycerol NAD, Lipase, 340,383
and fatty acids. GDH oxidises GDH, bich.
glycerol and reduces NAD buffer,k2co3
CHOL Cholesterol esterase free

CHEMISTRY TROUBLESHOOTING
ERROR Explanation action
Abnormal Abs reading was outside the limits Rerun, if persists run QC, if QC is OK
assay set by result monitor function problem is with sample else remove flex,
confirm and reinsert
Abnormal Foam, bubbles, turbidity in the Align the sample and reagent probe
reaction reaction mixture in cuvette
Aborted test Either by user or instrument Load/run errors
Absorbance The mA at the measured wavelength Rerun if error recurs it is due to optical
exceeds 2000 interference
a) Assay Result>assay range autodiluted and Manually dilute and rerun
rng/dilu rerun but still> range
b) low ‘A’ Absorbance Lower than limit set Same start with smallest dilution
error
c) high ‘A’ Absorbance higher than limit set -do- +(urine drugs of use should be
centrifuged & not diluted)
d) sust deplet’n Kinetic check exceeds the limit for As in b
that method
Arithmetic Error in result calculation change in If on pt sample the conc is very high or
abs was less than C0, or > C0+C1 low. If QC also is shifted low change 2500
ul reagent flush syringe tip, use new well
a) Above assay -do- Manually dilute and rerun
range
b) Below assay -do- Ensure enough sample rerun after dil 1:1
range with std . 50% recovery of std confirms low
or no activity
Assay Above or below assay range LOW- dil with std or QC compare with
Sampleconc=(dilresult*mix vol )- expected result to exclude system
(stdvol*stdconc)/sample vol malfunction
HIGH: dilute if permitted and rerun
