A COLORIMETRIC METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF ACETONE IN URINE

A colorimetric method for the determination of methylamine in urine.

In the course of feeding experiments in which mono-, di-, and trimethylamines were fed to dogs, it was desirable to determine the urinary excretion of methylamine (monomethylamine). The available methods were found to be cumbersome and not well adapted to the routine analysis of a large number of urines. Weber and Wilson (1) separated ammonia from the amines by the use of yellow mercuric oxide ...

New colorimetric method for quantitative determination of protein in urine.

Total urinary protein is rapidly precipitated at room temperature by tannic acid. The tannic acid/protein precipitate, dissolved in aqueous triethanolamine/ferric chloride solution, gives a purple-violet color of high absorptivity. Absorbance at 510 nm is linearly related to concentration from 0.05 to 1.50 A for a protein content of 0.05 to 1.50 g/liter, and less than 5 mg/liter can be detected...

A gas-chromatographic headspace method for the determination of acetone in bovine milk, blood and urine.

An automated headspace gas-chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of acetone in the milk, blood and urine of dairy cows. Five ml samples were saturated with 2 g of sodium chloride and equilibrated for 30 min at 90 degrees C in a Hewlett-Packard HP 19395 A automatic headspace sampler. The headspace volatiles were transferred without splitting to a 25 m x 0.3 mm x 0.4 mic...

A Colorimetric Method for the Determination of Fructose in Blood and Urine*

In 1926 Campbell and Hanna (1) published a method for the determination of fructose based upon the reduction of molybdenum in phosphoric acid solution and the reoxidation of the reduced molybdenum with potassium permanganate. This method is not entirely specific for fructose; other substances in blood and urine have some reducing action upon the molybdic acid reagent. The method will not permit...
