title: An immunoturbidimetric method for the measurement of beta-2 microglobulin in serum and plasma on a centrifugal analyser.
abstract: A simple immunoturbidimetric method for the measurement of beta-2 microglobulin in serum on a centrifugal analyser is described. The method detects beta-2 microglobulin in the range 0.4-16 mg/L with an estimated within-batch and between-batch coefficient of variation of 5-8.5% and 9%, respectively. The method correlated well with two ELISA methods.
