The stability and reliability of radioimmunoassays for clonazepam, diphenylhydantoin and phenobarbital in blood, serum or plasma.
The stability of Clonazepam, Diphenylhydantoin and Phenobarbital has been established in plasma and whole blood samples under a variety of storage conditions. Radioimmunoassay techniques for each of these anticonvulsants is not effected by the presence of the other anticonvulsants. Abnormal states such as icterus, hemolysis and lipemia were studied for their effects on the radioimmunoassay of these anticonvulsants. All the anticonvulsants can be stored at 37 degrees C with appropriate preservation for at least one week.
