Sodium Hypobromite Test

Materials Required:

Take 2 ml urine sample in a measuring cylinder from the urine sample bottle.
Take a test tube and pour the urine sample into the test tube.
Using a dropper, take sodium hypobromite solution.
Add few drops of sodium hypobromide solution to the urine sample.
Brisk effervescence of nitrogen appears in the test tube which indicates presence of urea in the urine.

Take 5 ml urine sample in a measuring cylinder from the urine sample bottle.
Take a test tube and pour the urine sample into the test tube.
Using a dropper, take some phenol red indicator.
Add 4-5 drops of phenol red indicator to the test tube.
Use a fresh dropper to take few drops of 2% Na2CO3.
Add Na2CO3 solution drop by drop until a pink colour develops in the test tube.
Take few drops of 1% acetic acid using a fresh dropper.
Add 1% acetic acid to the test tube drop by drop until the pink colour disappears.
Using a spatula, take some urease powder from the watch glass.
Add urease powder to the test tube and shake it well.
The pink or red colour appearing in the solution indicates the presence of urea in urine.
