ALBUMIN-BCG BROMCRESOL GREEN METHOD Principle: Colorimetric determination of serum albumin using bromcresol green (BCG) at pH 4.2. Serum Albumin in the presence of Bromcresol Green at a slightly acid pH produces a colour change from yellow -green to gr een-blue. Reagent Concentration: Reagent: Bromcresol Green pH 4.2 50mmol/L Standard: Albumin Solution Quality Control:5 g/dl
