Abstract
A flow injection method for the determination of ammonia in whole blood and plasma is described. The method utilizes diffusion of ammonia into a stream of a pH-sensitive indicator, which is monitored by a photometer. A volume of 90 microliter is needed and the result is obtained within 1 min. Ammonia concentrations increase during storage due to deamination. It is proposed to use plasma samples, which could be stored frozen at - 20 degrees C without significant change.Entities:
