We describe the process of certification for a gamma-glutamyltransferase reference material (CRM no. 319). Fifteen laboratories participated to this interlaboratory evaluation. All steps of the measurements were controlled in an effort to locate potential sources of variations. In particular, the
The use of iodinated contrast media has grown in popularity in the past two decades, but relatively little attention has been paid to the possible interferential effects of contrast media on laboratory test results. Herein, we investigate medical contrast media
Conjugated bile acid hydrolase (CBAH) refers to a class of enzymes which catalyze the cleavage of the amino acid moieties from conjugated bile acids. These enzymes are significant because of their role in providing substrates for further microbial metabolism in
Previously selected by the combinatorial chemistry approach, potent fluorogenic substrate of proteinase 3 was used as the starting structure to design new substrates. The general formula of the synthesized peptides is as follows: ABZ-Tyr-Tyr-Abu-ANB-X-NH(2), where ANB (5-amino-2-nitrobenzoic acid) served as
