A simple colorimetric method for determining seawater alkalinity using bromophenol blue

A simple method for determining serum copper.

The determination of serum copper is of value in a number of metabolic studies, particularly in the investigation of the anemia of chronic infection. Presented here, together with illustrative data, is a method for determining copper in serum, based on the direct extraction of copper carbamate from serum with isoamyl alcohol. Burch et aa. in their method for serum iron have demonstrated that su...

Ion-pair Complexometric Determination of Cyproheptadine Hydrochloride Using Bromophenol Blue

Two simple, rapid and inexpensive methods based on spectrophotometry and turbidimetry have been developed for the determination of cyproheptadine hydrochloride (CPH) in pure form and in dosage forms with Bromophenol Blue (BPB) as the reagent. The spectrophotometric method is based on the formation of an ion-pair complex between the drug and BPB in an acidic buffer. The ion-pair complex formed, ...

A colorimetric assay for mucous glycoproteins using Alcian Blue [proceedings].

The present paper describes a simple, sensitive technique for measurement of respiratory mucous glycoproteins that involves their precipitation with the cationic dye Alcian Blue. The assay was adapted from that described by Whiteman (1973) for measurement of urinary glycosaminoglycans. This method is useful for measurement of mucins secreted in response to stimulating agents in isolated airway ...

A new simple semimicro method for colorimetric determination of urea.

A Simple Colorimetric Method for the Evaluation of Chitosan

A simple sensitive and rapid colorimetric method has been developed, and herein described, for the qualitative and quantitative chemical assessment of the commercially available chitosan products. The described method relies on the reactivity of the basic amino function of chitosan with the acid dye bromocresol purple. The applied technique allows assessment of variability and selectivity chang...
