Charcoal assay for intrinsic factor using membrane filtration

A modification of the albumin-coated charcoal method for the assay of intrinsic factor and other vitamin B 12 binders is described. It replaces centrifugation with ultrafiltration under reduced pressure through small pore membranes. The resulting method is quicker, and more accurate. In addition, it...

Zusammenfassung:A modification of the albumin-coated charcoal method for the assay of intrinsic factor and other vitamin B 12 binders is described. It replaces centrifugation with ultrafiltration under reduced pressure through small pore membranes. The resulting method is quicker, and more accurate. In addition, it makes it possible to study the kinetic of agents thought to split vitamin B 12 macromolecular complexes by separating the free from the bound vitamin in seconds.
