Abstract:
Biological samples are analyzed for benzodiazepines in a single isocratic analysis using a chromatographic column system containing an immobilized enzyme reactor which cleaves glucuronic acid-conjugated benzodiazepines, an anion exchange column, a hydrophobic cation exchange column and a reverse-phase analytical column. Preferred methods of performing the analysis further involve the use of a hydrophobic cation exchange precolumn prior to the anion exchange column. The system readily lends itself to automation, automatic periodic sampling and benzodiazepine identification and quantification. The system is particularly well adapted to the determination and identification of benzodiazepines in urine samples.

Abstract:
Un kit para corregir las variaciones en el procesamiento de muestras y/o efectos de la matriz biológica cuando se realizan ensayos biológicos, comprendiendo dicho kit un factor de normalización que no se une a un analito de la muestra biológica a ensayar y que se acopla a un soporte sólido, en el que el factor de normalización es hFXIII, y una pluralidad de soportes sólidos que tienen miembros de unión inmovilizados sobre ellos que se unen a uno o más analitos en la muestra.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods that are useful for normalizing the amount of signal detected in an assay, such as an immunoassay. The compositions and methods are useful for improving the accuracy of immunoassays, such as immunoassays that detect whether a subject is infected with a retrovirus such as HIV.
