trace (+/-)
Reporting of Benedict’s test: Green solution with yellow precipitate
Positive (+)

Positive (++++)
Benedict’s test reaction result:
Cupric Ions (Blue Solution) + Reducing Sugar → (heat alkali) →
Carboxylic Acid + Cu2O (Cuprous Oxide) (Brick-Red precipitate)
SULFOSALICYLIC ACID PRECIPITATION (SSA) TEST Principle
Precipitation of urine protein by strong acid
Classic test for differentiation of urobilinogen and porphobilinogen
