dc.description.abstract	The estimation of protein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is important in certain disease conditions. The sensitivity of the Biuret method which is the standard method for protein estimation is not sufficient to be used for CSF specimens. This has lead to the development of various assay techniques for this purpose. The laboratory of Teaching Hospital, Karapitiya employs two such methods; the Pyrogallol red (PGR) method in the day laboratory and Sulphosalicylic acid turbidimetric method (SS A) in the oncall laboratory. The aim of this study was to compare these two methods.	en_US
