A bioluminescent assay of bacterial ATP for rapid detection of bacterial growth in 512 clinical aerobic blood cultures was evaluated. At the detection limit of bacterial ATP (lO-'Omol/l) in the blood cultures 94.2% of the true positive blood cultures were detected (sensitivity) and the specificity w

✦ Synopsis
The duration for which blood used in transfusions is acceptable is an important factor. The validity of blood, conserved and kept at 4"C, has been established by ATP measurement (mol I-') using a rapid firefly bioluminescence method. ATP is extracted from the blood cells with trichloroacetic acid, diluted with Tris buffer (pH 7.75). Samples conserved with CPDA-1 and ACD were compared. Blood stabilised with CPDA-1 was valid for transfusion until the 33rd day, that stabilised with ACD until the 21st day.

In this study we compared and validated commercial immunoradiometric assays (IRMA) to determine thyroglobulin (Tg) levels in serum. From a set of 440 samples, 68 were selected to calculate the validation parameters and the clinical performance of the assays. The commercial kits evaluated were the Tg
