The aim of this article is to study (additively) indecomposable algebraic integers O K of biquadratic number fields K and universal totally positive quadratic forms with coefficients in O K . There are given sufficient conditions for an indecomposable element of a quadratic subfield to remain indecomposable in the biquadratic number field K . Furthermore, estimates are proven which enable algorithmization of the method of escalation over K . These are used to prove, over two particular biquadratic number fields Q ( 2 , 3 ) and Q ( 6 , 19 ) , a lower bound on the number of variables of a universal quadratic forms.
