Whole blood glucose testing by reagent sticks is inaccurate at low plasma glucose concentrations and with varying hematocrit. Both conditions are frequently seen in newborn infants. Therefore plasma glucose analysis is the preferred method for newborn glucose monitoring. We encountered unanticipated

โฆ Synopsis
A new phosphate analysis method is described which is designed primarily for use with routine phosphatase assays. The method is modified extensively from that of Fiske and SubbaRow [(1925) J. Bid. C&em, 66, 3753 by decreasing 10fold the level of reducing agent, ANSA, increasing the concen~ation of ammonium molybdate to 4 mM, utilizing HCI as the only acid present, and incorporating SDS. The method is insensitive to pH, ATP, proteins, and detergents at concentrations normally encountered in enzyme purification and analysis experiments. The color developed is fivefold more stable than that from the originat Fiske-SubbaRow method, and the standard curve retains linearity for at least 24 hr with acid concentrations between 0.6 and 1.0 N HCI and for waveIen@hs between 500 and 900 nm. The simplicity, stability, and general applicability of the method allow for convenient and rapid analysis of large numbers of samples under a wide variety of conditions.

We describe a simple assay for small amounts of protein that is insensitive to sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or many common interfering substances including Tris and reducing sugars. For this reason. it is particularly useful in the analysis of protein content of samples prior to SDS electrophoresis.
A rapid method for the estimation of inorganic phosphate in the presence of high concentrations of protein is described. In this procedure protein precipitation is prevented by inclusion either of guanidine hydrochloride or of urea. The assay is based on the observation that the solubilized phosphom
