Title: Die Ultraviolett-Absorption von Kreatinin und Glykocyamidin im Vergleich mit anderen Guanidinverbindungen und analogen Hydantoinen

Journal/Source: Z. Klin. Chem. Klin. Biochem., 13, 53-59, (1975); 


Data: table, diagram

Energy/Wavelength range: 180 - 270 nm

Resolution: 

Temperature: 298 K

Temperature dependence: no

Pressure/Concentration: 0.1 mmol/L

Phase: solution (water; HCl; NaOH)

pH: 0.9 - 12.9


Comments: Creatinine and glycocyamidine exhibit two distinct-absorption bands of different intensity in the ultraviolet spectral region; in
measuring aqueous solutions of creatinine maximum absorptions were found at wavelengths of 201 and 233 nm.
