Abstract

Assay methods are provided for determining the presence of lithium in high sodium content liquids such as serum, plasma, urine or other sample without deproteinization. The novel compounds are water soluble derivatives of TMC-crownformazans and provide signal enhancement by increased absorbance of the dye-lithium complex over the dye anion.
