  • Method for the determination of albumin in biological fluids
    Patent number: 5110746
    Abstract: Serum is reacted with a dinitrohalobenzene compound and the rate of halogen formation is measured. This rate is in proportion to the amount of albumin in the sample. Other proteins like the globulins, as well as free aminoacids and urea, do not interfere with this reaction.

  • Method for the determination of bilirubin in solution
    Patent number: 4937186
    Abstract: A novel analytical method for bilirubin in biological fluids. Bilirubin is catalytically oxidized to biliverdin in the presence of bilirubin oxidase (BOX) and the latter is revertedly back-converted to initial bilirubin in the presence of suitable reducing agents. The corresponding oxidation of said reducing agents provides a signal which is monitored and provides the desired analytical data.When using selected organic fluoro-compound, said signal is provided by the release of F.sup.- ions which can be measured electrometrically.
