Micro-flow injection system for the urinary protein assay

Talanta. 2008 Feb 15;74(5):1350-4. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2007.09.014. Epub 2007 Sep 21.

Abstract

A urinary protein assay has been investigated, employing a micro-flow injection analysis (muFIA) combined with an adsorptive separation of protein from analyte. The adsorptive separation part of protein in the artificial urine with ceramic hydroxyapatite is integrated on the muFIA chip, since the interference of other components coexisting in urine occurs in the conventional FIA system. The typical FI peak can be obtained following the adsorption-elution process of the protein prior to the detection, and the protein concentration in artificial urine can be quantitatively determined.
