Abstract
The color of the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone of pyruvic acid may be used for the rapid, specific and sensitive micro-estimation of this substance in biological fluids if new extraction procedures for removing interfering substances are adopted, and if a light filter is used in the photoelectric cell colorimeter to increase accuracy by eliminating accompanying traces of other tints.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
