Abstract

A flow-injection analysis (FIA) system with an integrated immunobased elution assay was developed for the on-line determination of biotechnological products. This paper describes its application for tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) and recombinant antithrombin III (r-AT III). The short response time of the immunochemical system allows its use for measurement and control of biotechnological production processes. Immobilized polyclonal antibodies were found to bind rt-PA in the cartridge better than monoclonal antibodies. Sepharose-4B was found to be the best support for the antibodies. The cartridge with immobilized antibodies can be prepared easily, has a high reliability and is stable for more than two weeks. The total time necessary for one assay cycle is in the range of 6-8 min, depending on the conditions. The whole procedure is controlled by a personal computer. The FIA system can be used for automatic analysis as a stand-alone version with a frequency of 7 samples per hour. The standard operation range is from 500 μg/ml down to 2 μg/ml. A comparison with the conventional microtiter ELISA assay shows that this assay can be applied for an accurate determination of undiluted cultivation samples.
