Abstract
On the basis of the results of a study of the conditions for the photometric reaction forming an associate of a carbocyanine dye with the lipopolysaccharide of the typhoid bacillusSalmonella typhi 4446, a method is proposed for its spectrophotometric determination which excludes the use of an antioxidant. The proposed method is characterized by high sensitivity, good reproducibility, and simplicity of performance.
