A RAPID METHOD FOR S$sup 35$ RADIOASSAY AND GRAVIMETRIC SULFUR DETERMINATION IN BIOLOGIC MATERIAL

Journal Article · · Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine (U.S.)
OSTI ID:4262485
A wet-ashing procedure for the combustion of biologic material to sulfate and the assay of S/sup 35/ activity is described. The conditions for the perchloric-nitric acid combustion of tissues have been investigated, and the procedure has been simplified to permit the routine simultaneous determination of sulfur and the assay of sulfur/sup 35/ activity in a large number of samples. Sulfate is precipitated as barium sulfate and plated on glass filter paper. Use of glass filter paper eliminates the difficulties commonly encountered in the handling of such precipitates for both gravimetric sulfate determination and assay of radioactive sulfate. (auth)
