Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of enzymatic cycling method for serum homocysteine(Hcy) based on isotope-dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(ID-LC/MS/MS) as a contrast method.Methods A total of 20 fresh serum samples were determined by enzymatic cycling method and ID-LC/MS/MS,and the results were compared. The levels of serum Hcy were adjusted until the results were consistent,according to the results of 5 working calibrations,which were determined by enzymatic cycling method and ID-LC/MS/MS.Results The results of standard reference material(SRM) 1950 determined by ID-LC/MS/MS were consistent with certificate value,and the relative bias was <1.0%. The linear equation of ID-LC/MS/MS and enzymatic cycling method was Y=1.204 1X+0.364 6(r2=0.987 9),and the average bias was 24.0%. After adjusting,the linear equation was Y=0.988 6X+0.260 3(r2=0.999 7),and the average bias was -0.09%.Conclusions The levels of serum Hcy determined by ID-LC/MS/MS are accurate,which can be used for the accuracy evaluation of routine measurement procedure for serum Hcy.
