Mechanized determination of the apparent unbound unconjugated bilirubin concentration in serum

RP Wennberg, LF Rasmussen, CE Ahlfors and T Valaes

The peroxidase method for determining the apparent unbound bilirubin concentration in serum has been automated by use of a programmable, computer-directed spectrophotometer. This mechanized assay determines the total bilirubin concentration and apparent unbound bilirubin concentration in serum samples and titrates the serum with bilirubin to estimate the effect of increasing total bilirubin concentrations on the apparent unbound bilirubin concentration. The entire analysis requires 0.1 mL of serum and 4 min operation time, as compared with about 30 min for the manual method. The coefficients of variation for determination of the apparent unbound bilirubin concentration in bilirubin-enriched commercial control serum were 2.8% within-day and 5.6% between-day. Bilirubin--albumin binding in serum samples from infants with severe hyperbilirubinemia was analyzed by the manual peroxidase method, the automated peroxidase method, and Sephadex gel filtration. Good correlation was found among all three methods.
