Why should not hemolyzed serum be used in the analysis of total protein? - ANSWER
Hemoglobin is also absorbed at the same wavelength as does protein in the reagent
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the biuret reaction? - ANSWER It is
relatively free from interference from lipids and hemoglobin
,Which of the following are true of the biuret reaction? - ANSWER Follows Beer's law for
