Abstract

A simple method is described for the density determination of drops of urine, of blood and of plasma. The volume of specimen required is less than 0.05 ml and the method is accurate to ±0.001 g ml−1. A method for the density determination of urine suitable for use both in the field and in the laboratory is also described.
