The authors investigated the use of a commercially available gentamicin enz
yme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantitative analysis of gen
tamicin concentrations in microdialysis samples. The assay demonstrated goo
d accuracy and precision in the concentration range of 100 to 967 pg/mL. Th
e developed quantitative ELISA is a highly sensitive and valid method for m
easuring gentamicin concentrations in microdialysis samples. This assay may
be a useful alternative to other assay methodologies where analysis may be
restricted by sample volume requirements and limited sensitivity.
