Basic study of plasma metanephrine and normetanephrine measurements using 2-MET Plasma・ELISA kit “SML”: Plasma metanephrine and normetanephrine measurements

Abstract

We performed basic evaluation studies of the 2-MET Plasma・ELISA kit “SML” for plasma metanephrine (MN) and normetanephrine (NMN) measurements based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. According to the results, this kit showed CVs of within-run and between-day precisions of less than 15.0%, and the detection limits were 20.0 pg/mL for MN and 35.0 pg/mL for NMN. No effects from interfering substances were detected, and the dilution linearity was also good. The 2-MET Plasma・ELISA kit “SML” showed good and sufficient basic performance for routine use.
