Abstract
IN the course of investigations into the colloidal properties of bilirubin, it was found that inhibition of the diazo-reaction in acid solution is caused by the association of bilirubin with the formation of colloidal solutions of bilirubin. The diazo-reaction at acid pH occurs only if bilirubin remains in the monomolecular state1.
