title: Comparison of fluorescence polarization immunoassay and bioassay of vancomycin.
abstract: Human serum samples were analyzed for vancomycin concentrations by two different methods: the fluorescence polarization immunoassay and the disk plate bioassay. Each assay method offered acceptable precision. The correlation between both assay methods was excellent (correlation coefficient = 0.985). Excluding technical time, the bioassay was the least expensive method to perform but was more labor intensive than the fluorescence polarization immunoassay.
