The measurement of total serum proteins by the Biuret method.
نویسنده
چکیده
The biuret reaction for proteins provides a simple and precise method for measuring serum proteins; Beer's law is obeyed to at least 10 g per dl. Several stable biuret reagents are available. Hemoglobin is the only important cause of interference which cannot be minimized by use of a sample blank. The mechanism of the biuret reaction is described and attention is drawn to the heterogeneity of the serum proteins and to the use of a certified albumin standard.

Albumin-based or albumin-linked calibrators cause a positive bias in serum proteins assayed by the biuret method.
BACKGROUND Assay of total serum protein by the biuret method calibrated with albumin standards according to the reference method provides results with a positive bias approximately 3%-5% exceeding the total error of 3.4% allowable for total protein in serum analysis made by analysers using two-part reagents and short-term procedures. METHODS We used two types of two-part biuret reagents utili...
متن کاملClinical performance evaluation of total protein measurement by digital refractometry and characterization of non-protein solute interferences
OBJECTIVES Refractometric methods to measure total protein (TP) in serum and plasma specimens have been replaced by automated biuret methods in virtually all routine clinical testing. A subset of laboratories, however, still report using refractometry to measure TP in conjunction with serum protein electrophoresis. The objective of this study was therefore to conduct a modern performance evalua...
متن کاملA candidate reference method for determination of total protein in serum. I. Development and validation.
We developed a candidate Reference Method for measuring total serum protein by use of the biuret reaction. The method involves a previously described biuret reagent (Clin. Chem. 21: 1159, 1975) and Standard Reference Material (SRM) 927 bovine albumin (National Bureau of Standards) as the standard. At 25 degrees C, color development for 30 or 60 min provides identical serum protein values. Gluco...

Background & Aims: Acute phase proteins are synthesized mainly by the liver and macrophages in an inflammatory conditions as a result of some trauma and malignancies. Increased levels of these proteins have been reported in many cancer tumors and multiple myeloma as an important indicator of prognosis of malignancies. Because of importance of this issue, we investigate the serum level ...
متن کاملEffect of water salinity on total protein and electrophoretic pattern of serum proteins of grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella
In this study the effects of water salinity on serum total protein and its components in grass carp were investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of salinity tolerance of fish on total serum protein level and its components as an indicator of liver and kidney activity. One hundred and twenty grass carp were divided into four groups, randomly. The first three groups were r...
