Determination of Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity and Urea Content in Milk by Dry Chemistry

Summary Comparison of the new technique of dry chemistry (EKTACHEM 700-XR, Eastman Kodak Co., USA) with conventional wet chemistry (HITACHI 717, Boehringer Mannheim, Germany) for quantitations of lactate dehydrogenase activity and urea content in bovine milk resulted in correlation coefficients of more than 0.9 even when measuring fresh raw milk by dry chemistry.
