Abstract
Saturation analysis or competitive inhibition utilizing bacteria (L. casei) as the specific binder permitted the measurement of serum folate. Unlike conventional microbiologic techniques, organism growth rate was not determined. This new “radiomicrobiologic” approach quantitated serum folate by competitive binding of tritiated folic acid during the early “lag” phase of bacterial growth.
