This disclosure relates to a method and reagents for determining amphetamine and d-methamphetamine in a biological fluid, such as urine. In particular, this disclosure relates to improvements in a fluorescence polarization immunoassay procedure for determining the presence of amphetamine and d-methamphetamine in a single assay and to a novel class of tracer compounds employed as reagents in such procedures. The procedure described includes pretreatment of the biological sample to eliminate cross reactants such as .beta.-hydroxyphenethylamine by preincubating the sample solely with an aqueous periodate solution having a pH from about 4.0 to about 7.5 without adjustment to an alkaline pH, and contacting the sample with riboflavin binding protein to reduce interference from fluorescent components in the sample. The procedure also maintains the cross reactivity of the immunoassay for tyramine at about 0.4% and for 1-methamphetamine below about 5.1% and eliminates the necessity of using controlled substances as starting materials.
本公开涉及一种用于确定
生物液体(例如尿液)中
安非他命和d-甲基苯
丙胺的方法和试剂。特别是,本公开涉及改进荧光偏振免疫测定程序,以确定单个测定中
安非他命和d-甲基苯
丙胺的存在,并涉及用作这种程序中试剂的新型示踪剂化合物类别。所描述的程序包括处理
生物样品以消除交叉反应物,例如β-羟基苯
乙胺,通过仅将样品与具有pH约为4.0至约7.5的
水期酸溶液预孵育而不调整为碱性pH,并将样品与
核黄素结合蛋白接触以减少样品中荧光成分的干扰。该程序还保持
酪胺酸的免疫测定的交叉反应率约为0.4%,对1-甲基苯
丙胺的交叉反应率低于约5.1%,并消除使用受控物质作为起始材料的必要性。
