摘要
An assay has been developed for the colorimetric estimation of total amino acids in small volumes (100 μl) of whole blood. The procedure utilizes the reaction of amino nitrogen with β-naphthoquinone sulfonate. It represents a substantial improvement on previously published methods by decreasing reagent volumes and accurately specifying and maintaining pH conditions for the reaction itself (9.2-9.4) and for removal of excess reagent prior to measurement of the resulting complex (2.2-2.4). Ammonia is the only compound shown to significantly interfere with the assay but this is not a problem at physiological concentrations. © 1994 Academic Press, Inc. All rights reserved.
