Put 5 cc. of urine in a test-tube, add “twice as much hydrochlorate of phenyl-hydrazine as will lie on the point of a knife-blade” (v. Jaksch), and one and a half times as much sodium acetate as is taken of the phenyl-hydrazine salt. Heat the test tube in a boiling-water bath for half an hour. Then cool at the tap and examine the yellow crystalline deposit under the microscope. [Extract from Stewart's, Manual of Physiology, p. 370.] The urine should first be thoroughly precipitated with acetate of lead, and then filtered.Google Scholar
