Abstract

An automated colorimetric serum uric acid procedure utilizing the AutoAnalyzer has been evaluated and compared with an enzymatic spectrophotometric procedure. The results of this study indicate that the AutoAnalyzer, with its speed of assay, can be used for large numbers of serum uric acid determinations without compromising on precision and reasonable accuracy.
