An automated procedure is described for the determination of alkaloids in cigarette smoke using low toxicity reagents. Cyanogen chloride is formed on line from potassium thiocyanate and sodium hypochlorite. The procedure is compared with the previously used cyanogen bromide method which also uses Auto Analyser II methodology.
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.
