A pooled sample of milk from about 300 cows was subjected to ultrafiltration. Radiochemical analysis of the ultrafiltrate and residue indicated that 60% of the I¹³¹ was present in the ultrafiltrate. Samples of the original milk were then passed through an anion exchange resin column. Duplicate analysis showed 100% retention of I¹³¹ by the resin. It was concluded that I¹³¹ complexed with protein is quantitatively removed by resin treatment. Results are compared with those using standard radiochemical procedure.
