β¦ Synopsis
We present a method for the measurement of the total Somatomedin C (SmC) content in human early morning urine samples after dialysis, extraction, and concentration. We modified a chemiluminescence immunoassay, previously developed for' SmC determination in serum, for analysis of SmC in urine. Appropriate sensitivity was obtained by the preparation of a new chemiluminescent tracer (AEECCOOHSmC) and the optimization of a competitive non-equilibrium immunoassay system which had a detection limit of 0.24 fmol SmC per tube.
