A new diazo method for the determination of bilirubin.

Modification of the DuPont aca as exemplified by a new procedure for neonatal total bilirubin.

Hemoglobin interferes with determination of total bilirubin by the diazo procedure with the DuPont aca. We compared results by that procedure with those by a manual direct spectrophotometric two-wavelength method. Because the manual method was not inhibited by hemolysis as was the DuPont aca diazo procedure, we reprogrammed our DuPont aca to measure the absorbance of diluted serum samples at 45...

The technique to be selected for determination of bilirubin in blood by the diazo-method.

Ultramicro method for serum bilirubin by diazo blue reaction.

ROPER CLINICAL MANAGEMENT of infants with erythroblastosis fetalis necessitates the determination of total serum bilirubin. Of the many modifications of the original diazo reaction on blood serum (1) a micromethod using capillary blood is preferable. One tenth miffiliter of serum was used by Davidson et al. (2) in their modification of the Ernst and F#{246}rster (3) method and by With (4, 5) in...

Studies on the interference by haemoglobin in the determination of bilirubin.

Haemoglobin interference in the determination of bilirubin was compared in 7 different methods using the Jendrassik-Grof procedure, the Jendrassik-Grof-Nosslin modification, and the more recent procedures using nitrophenyldiazonium, 2,5-dichlorophenyldiazonium, 2,4-dichloraniline, and a direct reading method. To a variable degree, haemoglobin decreased the apparent absorption of the reaction pr...

The Determination of Bilirubin with the Photoelectric Colorimeter

The main source of error in the determination of bilirubin in serum by the diazo reaction has been the loss caused by adsorption on the protein precipitate. In addition, the lack of an accurately matching artificial standard and the sensitivity of the azobilirubin color to changes in pH have made accurate calorimetric determinations impossible, without the aid of some type of objective photomet...
