Microchimica Acta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A sensitive and specific Spectrophotometric technique for the determination of microgram amounts of thallium in autopsy tissues and body fluids is described. The material is subjected to wet combustion, extraction of thallium as thallic chloride with ether, and finally the formation of thallium(I) dithizonate. The optimum conditions are given and the amount of thallium found in different autopsy tissues and urine recorded.

Zusammenfassung

Ein empfindliches und spezifisches spektrophotometrisches Verfahren für die Bestimmung von Mikrogrammengen Thallium in Geweben und Körperflüssigkeiten wurde beschrieben. Das Untersuchungsmaterial wird naß verascht, Thallium wird als Chlorid mit Äther extrahiert und schließlich zu Thallium(I)dithizonat umgesetzt. Die Arbeitsbedingungen wurden angegeben und verschiedene Resultate mitgeteilt.
