Immunoturbidimetric assay of beta 2 microglobulin using latex particles in microplates.
A latex particle immunoturbidimetric assay in microplates has been developed for the quantitation of beta 2 microglobulin. The assay which involves three pipetting steps and one incubation, has a clinically useful range of 0.4-16 mg/l. A comparison of the method with a commercial radioimmunoassay in the analysis of 125 sera revealed a high degree of correlation. Although the assay was performed manually, it showed considerable potential for full automation.
