A semi-automated two-stage chromatographic system is described for use in evaluating neurotoxin b4-2 in body fluids of uremic patients and healthy subjects. The only manual step is the injection, thus decreasing the risk of operator error inherent in the previous manual method (Clin Chem 29: 703-707, 1983) and concurrently improving CV from 9% to 6.4% as measured during a 16-month period.
