Radioassay of Serum Folate, with Use of a Serum Blank and Nondialyzed Milk as Folate Binder

open access: yesClinical Chemistry, 1973
Abstract Serum folate determination by this method requires incubation of 0.1 ml of serum (or standards) with nondialyzed milk and then with tritium-labeled folate. A serum blank corrects for nonspecific binders present in the serum. Unbound folate is removed with hemoglobin-coated charcoal.
