TRITIUM-LABELED COMPOUNDS. II. GENERAL-PURPOSE APPARATUS, AND PROCEDURES FOR THE PREPARATION, ANALYSIS, AND USE OF TRITIUM OXIDE AND TRITIUM-LABELED LITHIUM BOROHYDRIDE
A general-purpose manifold is described. which is useful for numerous procedures involving tritium gas and tritium-labeled materials. Methods are given in detail for converting tritium gas to tritium oxide. preparing tritium- labeled lithium borohydride. and conducting a variety of reactions in a closed system. Auniliary equipment is shown, including water traps. reaction flasks, and apparatus for preparing solutions and making filtrations in closed systems. Methods are presented for assaying tritium-labeled water by dissolving it in a phosphoric anhydride-sulfuric acid solution and counting in a windowless. gas- flow. proportional counter. or converting it to hydrogen-t and assaving it in an ionization chamber. The use of tritium-labeled lithium borohydride is illustrated by the preparation of D-galactitol-1-t from D-galactose. (auth)
