Abstract
Se optimizó y adaptó un método colorimétrico para la determinación de cobre sérico con dibenzilditiocarbamato de zinc. El método presenta linealidad por lo menos hasta 400 ug/dl de cobre. La recuperación promedio obtenida fue de 102%, con un intervalo de 98 a 108%. El hierro II y III, zinc, magnesio, mercurio, ácido ascórbico, calcio y plomo no producen interferencia. Por el contrario, la bilirrubina sí interfiere en la reacción, obteniéndose resultados más elevados que con el método de absorción atómica. Por esta razón, es indispensable montar un blanco de muestra con el método colorimétrico siempre que el suero esté ictérico. Las precisiones para muestras con valores de cobre bajos, normales y altos mostraron coeficientes de variación de 5,78, 3,09 y 0,89% en un mismo día, y 9,02, 5,71 y 2,45% día a día respectivamente. Con una población de 200 adultos aparentemente sanos de uno u otro sexo y utilizando el percentil 95, se obtuvieron los intervalos de referencia de cobre sérico siendo éstos en 100 hombres de 50 a 142 ug/dl y en 100 mujeres de 73 a 142 ug/dl. El método propuesto correlaciona adecuadamente con el de absorción atómica.
A colorimetric method with zinc dibenzyldithiocarbamate for the determination of copper in serum was adapted and optimized. The reaction is linear at least up to 400 µg/dl of copper. The average recovery was 102 percent, with a range of 98 to 108 percent. Iron II, III, zinc, magnesium, mercury, ascorbic acid, calcium, and lead do not interfere. Bilirrubin was the only component that interfered in the reaction, obtaining higher values of copper than with the atomic absorption method. For this reason, it is important to prepare a sample blank when an icteric serum is analyzed by the colorimetric met hod. Within-run precision (C.V.) was 5,78%; 3,09% and 0,89%; and day-to-day precision was 9,02%; 5,71%, and 2,45% for samples with low, normal and high values of serum copper, respectively. The reference values for serum copper with the colorimetric method were obtained from an outpatient population of 200 apparently healthy adult indivi duals of either sex (50-142 µg/dl in 100 men and 73- 142 µg/dl in 100 women). The proposed method highly correlates with the atomic absorption procedure.
