Determination of serum albumin in domestic animals using the immediate bromeresol green reaction.
The immediate reaction bromeresol green (BCG) method for determination of serum albumin in various species of domestic animals (bovine, equine, canine, feline and porcine) was compared to an electrophoretic method. Good correlation was obtained between the two methods when both species specific and bovine albumin standards were used to compute the albumin concentration for the BCG assay. The immediate reaction BCG method appears to have considerable potential for application in the veterinary clinical laboratory.
