Abstract
The specific gravity of serum has been shown to be a reliable index of serum protein concentration (1, 2). The methods which appear to be best suited for the rapid determination of serum specific gravity are the falling drop method of Barbour and Hamilton (3), the copper sulfate procedure of Phillips et al. (4), and the gradient tube method of LinderStrom-Lang. Although the use of the gradient tube for very precise specific gravity measurements has been carefully described (5), there have been but brief references to the adaptation of this method to the rapid measurement of serum or plasma specific gravity (6-8).
