Comparison of double- and single-isotope enzymatic derivative methods for measuring catecholamines in human plasma

MI Evans, JB Halter and D Porte Jr

We directly compared the reliability of a single-isotope enzymatic derivative technique for measurement of plasma catecholamines with that of the well-established double-isotope method. A significant (p less than 0.001) correlation was observed between measurements (n = 52) in the two assays, both for norepinephrine (r = 0.97) and epinephrine (r = 0.80). Means and coefficients of variation for the two analytes in a pooled specimen of plasma, measured repeatedly during six months, were virtually identical by each assay method. Basal plasma catecholamine concentrations in two different groups of apparently healthy subjects were also similar by each method. Dopamine concentrations in plasma were consistently below the limits measurable by either technique. The single-isotope assay requires half the assay time and 1/200th the sample as the double-isotope method. We conclude that this assay is just as reliable as the double-isotope technique and gives virtually identical values for norepinephrine and epinephrine concentrations in the physiological range.
