Determination of Alcohol by Microdiffusion

Comparison between a microdiffusion and an ion exchange method for the determination of plasma ammonium.

The results of plasma-ammonium determinations by an ion-exchange method and by a microdiffusion method were compared on the same specimens with each other and with ammonium determinations carried out on the corresponding whole-blood specimens by the microdiffusion method. The plasma-ammonium levels of whole-blood specimens were higher than those of the corresponding plasma specimens, but the di...

Rapid determination of cyanide and azide in beverages by microdiffusion spectrophotometric method.

A rapid screening method was developed for the determination of the toxic volatile anions, cyanide and azide, in beverages. This method consisted of a microdiffusion extraction combined with spectrophotometry using the Konig cyanide reaction and ferric azide complex formation in conjugation with cerium azide oxido-reduction. The time required to achieve full recovery in the extraction of hydrog...

Microdiffusion method for estimation of cyanide in whole blood and its application to the study of conversion of cyanide to thiocyanate.

A microdiffusion technique has been used to separate and concentrate the nanomole amounts of cyanide in whole blood, and to permit its simplified colorimetric estimation (1). With this technique cyanide was measured in whole blood from normal smokers, normal nonsmokers, and patients suffering from tobacco amblyopia. Cyanide was also measured in whole blood from vitamin B12-deficient and normall...

Microdetermination of protein nitrogen with a dumbbell diffusion apparatus.

The use of a two-chamber, sealed microdiffusion apparatus has been investigated for the determination of protein nitrogen on samples containing 0.5 mg. protein. The apparatus is constructed from a ground-glass ball-and-socket joint, and all operations including digestion are performed in the designed apparatus. The method has been applied to the determination of nitrogen in tobacco mosaic virus...
