Thiamin status has been assessed by direct tests involving the measurement of thiamin levels in the blood or urine. The vitamin can be assayed by the thiochrome method or by microbiological assays. The disadvantage of these methods is that thiamin levels in normal individuals can vary greatly. The test organism used for microbiological assays may be Lactobacillus viridescens or Lactobacillus fermenti. 

Specific ion and specific gas electrodes, as well as other electrode types, can be employed. Examples of the types of bacterial electrodes include the use of Streptococcus foecium immobilized on an ammonia electrode to sense arginine,the use of Sarcina flava and an ammonium electrode to sense L-glutamine, and the use of Lactobacillus fermenti and a platinum, silver peroxide electrode to sense vitamin...
