PREVENTION OF INSULIN-I$sup 131$ ADSORPTION TO GLASS

Journal Article · · Endocrinology (U.S.)
OSTI ID:4116747

It was shown that human serum albumin in a final concentration of 0.5 mg/ ml can effectively prevent insulin-I/sup 131/ from being adsorbed to glass surfaces. Of the insulin-1/sup 131/ introduced to the system, 95.8% was recoverable when precipitated with 20% trichloroacetic acid after a period of incubation for 30 min when protected by this concentration of albumin. It appears that human serum albumin can be reliably employed to protect insulin-I/ sup 131/ when dilutions of standards or working solutions are made for radioactivity measurements. (auth)
