  • Method of detecting carboxylic acids in a specimen
    Patent number: 4777143

A specimen is contacted with a developing system containing a metal salt reactive with carboxylic acids present in the specimen to form metal-carboxylic acid complexes. Any such complexes are colorimetrically detected by their activity in catalyzing oxidation of a chromogen such as guaiac. The method is useful in detecting intestinal helminth infestation.
