Abstract A procedure has been developed for the rapid, quantitative determination of urinary porphobilinogen. Interfering substances are removed by selectively adsorbing the porphobilinogen with an ion-exchange resin using a batch method. After acid elution of the porphobilinogen, Ehrlich's reagent is added to produce the chromophore, which is then measured spectrophotometrically. Obtaining absorption at two wavelengths permits a differentiation of porphobilinogen from interfering reactants not removed by the resin treatment. This assay is relatively simple, dependable, highly reproducible for increased amounts, and more specific than the qualitative assay.

Abstract The fluorometric procedure for chlortetracycline in mixed feeds is based upon the degradation of chlortetracycline in alkaline solution to isochlortetracycline. The fluorescence of the isochlortetracycline is directly proportional to the concentration of chlortetracycline present prior to alkaline degradation. Chlortetracycline is extracted from mixed feeds with an acidmethanol solvent system, separated from the feed extract by adsorption on a Dowex 50 ion exchange resin, and eluted from the resin by ammonium hydroxide after conversion to isochlortetracycline. The isochlortetracycline is measured fluorometrically. Recoveries from known feeds are generally greater than 90% and agreements with microbiological assays are very close.
