ABSTRACT A series of organic solvents and phenol derivatives have been examined for the extraction of the pink Kober-colour complex. Optimal results could be achieved for fluorimetry by a solution of 2 % (w/v) p-nitrophenol and 1 % (v/v) ethanol in acetylenetetrabromide, when the green mercury line (546 mμ was used as primary light. The sensitivity, stability and specificity have been improved, compared with the previously described reaction. By changing the sequence of purification steps and by reducing the volume of the urine sample (5 ml) the method for the determination of total oestrogens has been simplified. Approximately 10 determinations can be done within 3–4 hours by one person. Recovery experiments and comparative determinations with a previously described method have been carried out. The excretion of total oestrogens in a complete menstrual cycle is determined with the described method.
