Abstract
The protozoan flagellate, Ochromonas danica, which responds only to intact thiamine, is used for determining thiamine in biologic fluids and tissues. The method more accurately reflects thiamine status in man and animals than do the chemical and enzymatic procedures. The method yields qualitative results in two days and quantitative results in four to five days.Keywords
