A rapid and precise method of determining traces of nickel in foods and biological materials and in ferrous materials has been developed.The optimum range is 5 to 80 micrograms and in this range the determinations are accurate to *5%. Nickel is separated from interfering dements by a solvent extraction of the dimethylglyoxime salt of divalent nickel, and is determined by spectrophotometric measurement of the yellow diethyldithiocarbamate complex.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
