A comparison of serum phenytoin determination by the substrate-labeled fluorescent immunoassay with gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, radioimmunoassay and "EMIT".
Patients' sera were analyzed for phenytoin by the Substrate-Labeled Fluorescent Immunoassay (SLFIA), gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), Radioimmunoassay (RIA) and EMIT and the results were compared. The EMIT assay was performed using a "PACER Analyzer". All assay results compared favorably. The correlation coefficients were: SLFIA vs GC, 0.995 (n = 45); SLFIA vs. LC, 0.993 (n = 37); SLFIA vs. EMIT, 0.965 (n = 67); SLFIA vs. RIA, 0.977 (n = 34). These results show that phenytoin levels determined by the SLFIA compare well with those obtained by the other four assay techniques.
