Simple, rapid determination of zinc and acid phosphatase in seminal plasma with an ABA-100 bichromatic analyzer.

[摘要] I describe an automated assay for zinc and acid phosphatase in seminal plasma. These, which are markers of the function of the prostate, were assayed bichromatically with an Abbott ABA-100 analyzer. As many as 25 samples of human seminal plasma can be analyzed sequentially with CVs of 3.1% for zinc and 1.5% for acid phosphatase. The sensitivity, specificity, and speed of this assay system make it practicable for use in investigation of male infertility.
