Calibrate each reagent
cartridge. Run a
minimum of two
levels of control with
each new reagent
cartridge.
Ascorbate interferes
with this method.
Currently, Sigma
linearity standards
recover at
approximately 50%
for the highest level
on the AEROSET
System. The same is
seen with Roche
assays run on the
Roche/Hitachi.
Verichem linearity
was able to recover at
100%.

Valproic acid
concentration is
inversely proportional
to absorbance change.
(High absorbance
change = low valproic
acid concentration;
low absorbance
change = high
valproic acid
concentration.)
