Bial's reagent consists of 0.4 g orcinol, 200 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 0.5 ml of a 10% solution of ferric chloride. [2] Bial's test is used to distinguish pentoses from hexoses; this distinction is based on the color that develops in the presence of orcinol and iron (III) chloride. Furfural from pentoses gives a blue or green color.

Manfred Bial (10 December 1869 – 26 May 1908) was a German physician who invented a test for pentoses using orcinol, now known as Bial's test. [1] Bial was born on 10 December 1869 in Breslau, the son of Max Bial. He was an assistant at the Kaiserin-Augusta-Hospital in Berlin. Bial died on 26 May 1908 in Monaco. [citation needed]
An example of a positive Seliwanoff’s test. Seliwanoff’s test is a chemical test which distinguishes between aldose and ketose sugars. If the sugar contains a ketone group, it is a ketose. If a sugar contains an aldehyde group, it is an aldose. This test relies on the principle that, when heated, ketoses are more rapidly dehydrated than ...

Estimated change in probability: Based on table above, a likelihood ratio of 2.0 corresponds to an approximately +15% increase in probability. Final (post-test) probability: Therefore, bulging flanks increases the probability of ascites from 40% to about 55% (i.e., 40% + 15% = 55%, which is within 2% of the exact probability of 57%).
D-xylose absorption test is a medical test performed to diagnose conditions that present with malabsorption of the proximal small intestine [1] due to defects in the integrity of the gastrointestinal mucosa. [2] D-xylose is a monosaccharide, or simple sugar, that does not require enzymes for digestion prior to absorption. Its absorption ...
