Amino-nitrogen
and Ammonia in Urine
1 Department of Radiation Biology and Biophysics, University of Rochester School
of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, NY 14620.
The ninhydrin-colorimetric procedure for the determination of urinary
amino-nitrogen has been simplified by the use of the Conway microdiffusion unit to remove
ammonia from the sample. In this way, urinary ammonia is measured, and at the
same time an ammonia-free urine sample is ready for
amino-nitrogen analysis.
Values for total and free
amino-nitrogen in normal urine samples were found to be
similar to those previously reported by more complicated procedures.
