Gerding, Elldiart, Ind., assignors to Miles Laboratories, Inc., Elkhart, Ind, a corporation of lndiana No Drawing. Filed Apr. 12, 1956, Ser. No. 577,671
3 Claims. (Cl. 2.3--230) This invention relates to a composition and to a method of using that composition for the determination of albumin in body fluids such as urine, for example.
Inasmuch as the presence of albumin in urine is an indication of a diseased or traumatic condition, the utility of a simple test for the determination of albumin is ob- The methods of present day use for the determination of albumin in urine consist of the following qualitative tests:
(a) Heat test with acetic acid which involves boiling a measured quantity of urine and then adding equal amounts of acetic acida turbidity is formed in a positive specimen.
Hellers test which involves placing an amount of concentrated nitric acid in a test tube and stratifying a small amount of urine on the nitric acid. A cloudy ring at the junction of the two liquids indicates a positive specimen.
(0) Sulfosalicylic acid test which requires the placing of 4 or 5 ml. of urine in a test tube and adding two or three drops of an aqueous solution of sulfosalicylic acid and a turbidity indicating a positive specimen.
(d) Picric acid test which involves placing a measured amount of urine in a test tube and adding an equal amount of saturated picric acid solution. Turbidity of the solution indicates a positive specimen.
The foregoing, and modifications thereof, constitute the presently employed methods of determination of the presence of albumin in urine, all of which depend on a turbidity test. In these, as indicated above, the albumin is precipitated either as a ring at the junction of the specimen and the precipitating agent, or as a suspension wherein the specimen is thoroughly mixed with the precipitating reagent.
Now, in order to circumvent the diiliculties inherently involved in turbidity testing, to eliminate the preparation of solutions, and to avoid handling of corrosive acids, we have developed a composition and method for albumin determinations that is unique in its ease of application. The nature of the composition and method of use is such that an unskilled person can conduct the test and can, moreover, readily run mass screening test determination on large groups of urine specimens. These and related advantages are achieved by the present invention by means of a color test, a color test which is purely of the changing color variety rather than of the turbidity type.
In particular, the objects and advantages sought are obtained by the use of a tabletted composition which indicates concentrations of albumin in urine when only one or two drops of the specimen to be tested is placed upon the tablet. The composition of that tablet in general includes a protein precipitant comprising a member of one or more of the following groups: (1) a strong, solid, water-soluble acid such as suliosalicylic acid or picric acid, (2) the alkali metal phosphates as are particularly represented by sodium tetrametaphosphate or sodium hexametaphosphate, and (3) metal salts such as lead nitrate, zinc sulfate, barium chloride, aluminum sulfate or aluminum chloride. A second ingredient of the present composition comprises, an eliervescent couple consisting of a strong, solid, water-soluble acid such as those listed above as protein prccipitants or maleic, tartaric,
citric, itaconic, sulfamic and like acids, together with an alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate, the effervescent couple being eflective to produce carbon dioxide in an aqueous medium. The third primary ingredient is a dye component consisting of one or a plurality of dyes at least one of which has an atlinity for the protein as precipitated from solution to the extent that it is adsorbed upon the precipitated protein. In addition to its afiinity for the protein being precipitated, one or more of the dyes constituting the dye component must exhibit a color change from its acid to its basic color within the range of pH increase which the precipitated albumin uniquely exhibits.
Additional description of the concepts and conditions for practicing the invention will follow the ensuing detailed description of representative formulae in parts by weight of the compositions contemplated by this invention.

Example IX In all of the foregoing examples, precipitation or" the protein was effected below its iso-electrie point. in particular, sulfosalicylic acid, picric acid, sodium tetrametaphosphate and sodium hexametaphosphate are examples of chemicals which will precipitate protein below the isoeleetric point, the sodium tetrametaphosphate and hexametaphosphate requiring additional acidity such as is provided by sulfamic or citric acids, for example. When precipitating the albumin below its iso-electric point, the reactant mixture should be at a pH no higher than 3 and consequently the dye component must change from the acidic color to the basic color at or below a pH of 3. In practice, the optimum pH for the precipitation appears to be in the range of 2.0 to 2.5.
