Abstract:
A method of quantifying bilirubin in a sample comprising:detecting bilirubin in a sample to obtain a first measurement indicative of the amount of bilirubin in the sample; detecting a known quantity of a compound of Formula (I): â€ƒwherein: R1 and R2 are each independently selected from alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, heterocyclic, and aryl, R3 and R4 are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, taurine, tauryl, aryl, and glucoronyl, and R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10 are each independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, and alkenyl, in at least one control reagent to obtain a second measurement indicative of the amount of the compound of Formula (I) in the control reagent; and comparing the measurements to determine the amount of bilirubin in the sample relative to the amount of the compound of Formula (I) in the control reagent.
