The increase in total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) concentrations is correlated with increases cyanobacterial bloom biomass. Standard methods for the measurement of TKN are tedious, costly, time-consuming and involve use hazardous catalysts, such as mercury, high temperatures significant amounts toxic acids bases. Since plays a pivotal role influencing algal blooms, there an urgent need to develop s...

Estimations of blood proteins and albuminglobulin ratios are coming to occupy a place of increasing importance in medicine. These estimations are usually carried out only in institutions with biochemical laboratories, and the methods usually used, such as the Kjeldahl method, necessitate special apparatus and equipment. Many hospitals do not have these facilities. There is, therefore, a great n...

This simple method of centrifugal analysis for total protein in human breast milk is based on the change in the wavelength of the absorbance maximum of Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 when the dye is bound to protein. Within-run and between-day CVs were 3.8% and 4.8%, respectively. Compared with a micro-Kjeldahl method for determination of total nitrogen, the coefficient of correlation was 0.99.
