Hall’s Method for Bilirubin

PRINCIPLE: The oxidizing action of Fouchet’s reagent converts the bile pigment to green biliverdin (if it has been transported to the liver and reduced, it is referred to as bilirubin.). Colors range from olive green to emerald green, depending on the concentration of bile pigment present.
