Popis: We present the results of a multicentre evaluation with Boehringer Mannheim/Hitachi instruments of new "enzymatic" methods for the determination of Na+, K+, and Cl- in serum or plasma. The between-day coefficient of variation was less than 1.4% (Na+), less than 2.6% (K+) and less than 1.7% (Cl-). The linear range of the assays were at least 80 to 200 mmol/l (Na+), 1.5 to 17 mmol/l (K+) and about 30 to at least 200 mmol/l (Cl-). The comparisons with routine flame atomic emission spectrometry and coulometry showed a satisfactory agreement of the test results. The "enzymatic" assays are insensitive to even grossly elevated levels of bilirubin and lipids (sodium, potassium, and chloride assays), NH4+ (potassium assay) and amylase (chloride assay). Interference by various drugs was not detected. Since the new methods can easily be adapted to photometric clinical chemistry instruments, they represent a valuable alternative to the use of ion-selective electrodes, flame atomic emission spectrometry and coulometry.
