  • Method for assay of prostaglandins
    Patent number: 3934978
    Abstract: A method for assaying prostaglandins of the E and F series comprising the sequential steps of reducing the keto groups in a sample containing the prostaglandins to hydroxy groups, selectively oxidizing the prostaglandin 15-OH groups to keto groups, reducing the keto groups to hydroxy groups by means of a radioactive labeled chemical reducing agent, isolating radioactive labeled prostaglandins and measuring the amount of radioactivity of the isolated radioactive labeled prostaglandins.
