  • Patent number: 4105408
    Abstract: A urea assay or analysis process and reagents therefor, in which the assay involves a reaction between a sample of biological fluid and an acidic reagent solution of o-phthaldehyde and a chromogenic compound; the chromogenic compounds include certain substituted benzene compounds, certain substituted naphthalene compounds, certain aminopyrimidines, certain substituted quinolines, certain morpholino substituted quinolines and certain morpholino substituted naphthalenes.

  • Patent number: RE28803
    Abstract: An electronic control logic system for processing the results of a spectrophotometer analysis of a serum chemistry comprised of a serum and one or more chemical reagents. The spectrophotometer output representing air as a light path and another output representing the test chemistry as a light path are integrated and the air path integrated value allowed to exponentially decay until its value is equal to that of the integrated test chemistry path value. The decay time is converted into a train of digital pulses representative of the optical density of the test chemistry. These pulses are counted and their total stored for comparison with the corresponding optical density of a standard solution. The concentration of the element for which the particular test was designed to detect is known for the standard solution, so the percentage concentration of that element in the test chemistry may be thereby ascertained.
