The oxidation of 1 mmole of D-glucose 6-phosphate with 1.7 mmoles of lead tetraacetate admixed with 1.8 mmoles of sulfuric acid yields a preparation containing 0.77 mmole of D-erythrose 4-phosphate and 0.20 mmole of unoxidized glucose 6-phosphate. The D-erythrose 4-phosphate is separated from the D-glucose 6-phosphate by chromatography on Dowex 1-formate, and recovered as the barium salt of the hydrazone in 50% yield. Evidence is presented that erythrose 4-phosphate may exist in monomeric and dimeric forms. Glucose 6-phosphate and erythrose 4-phosphate produce different colors in the phenol – sulfuric acid reaction. This can be used for the qualitative identification and quantitative determination of these sugar phosphates.

A method is described for determining total platinum content in urine, blood plasma and tissues of patients or experimental animals receiving cis-dichlorodiamineplatinum(II). The method is based on drying and combustion of the biological material in a muffle furnace. The product of the combustion is dissolved successively in aqua regia, hydrochloric acid and ethylenediamine. The resulting platinum-ethylenediamine complex yields a catalytic current at a dropping mercury electrode allowing to determine platinum by differential pulse polarography. Platinum levels of c. 50-1 000 ng per ml of the biological fluid or per 0.5 g of a tissue can readily be analyzed with a linear calibration.

Abstract A modified method for the determination of dithiocarbamate fungicide residues on crops is presented. A large representative subsample of the frozen crop is blended in ice-cold deaerated water and an aliquot of the homogenate is added to the analytical apparatus containing hot 5 0% sulfuric acid. Dithiocarbamates are decomposed to evolve CS2 which is removed by a continuous gentle air-sweep from the digestion flask. Variations in technique allow the analysis of dithiocarbamate fungicide residues in several ranges, 1-10, 10-200, and 200-1000 /ig maneb. Recoveries from a wide variety of crops averaged 70 to 103%. Certain crop types present low recoveries and/or high apparent control values, but modifications in the analytical procedure are successful in solving these problems.
