      Abstract

      A routine urea determination in blood has been described with the technical feature of placing an oxalate-jack bean powder mixture in specimen bottles effecting rapid hydrolysis of urea in the still body-warm blood. The urea is determined by direct nesslerization in the Folin-Wu filtrate which can be used also for other routine tests.
