Free and total insulin as determined after precipitation with polyethylene glycol: analytical characteristics and effects of sample handling and storage

H Arnqvist, PO Olsson and H von Schenck

We evaluated results of radioimmunoassays of free and total insulin after precipitation of endogenous antibodies with polyethylene glycol (PEG), and we investigated the influence of collection time, temperature, and storage in heparin- cr EDTA-treated plasma or serum on results for free insulin. Analytical recovery of free insulin was 99.3%, of total insulin 96.4%. For free insulin, assay precision (CV) was 4.0-13.0% (intra-assay) and 7.8-10.7% (inter-assay); for total insulin, 3.6-9.5% and 6.6-11.7%, respectively. Free insulin decreased in plasma (p less than 0.05) and serum (p less than 0.01) at room temperature after 3 h and in promptly analyzed serum (p less than 0.01). Storage of samples at -20 degrees C increased the concentration of free insulin in plasma (p less than 0.025) and serum (p less than 0.005), whereas the free insulin content of supernates after PEG precipitation was stable, except for a slight decrease in serum samples (p less than 0.02). We conclude that, for radioimmunoassay of free and total insulin, plasma should be used, treated with PEG without delay; supernates then are analytically stable for as long as 26 weeks at -20 degrees C.
