Abstract We report a rapid single-reagent method for determining total bilirubin with the " CentrifiChem Analyzer" (Union Carbide Corp.). The reagent is the stable 1,5-disulfonate of diazosulfanilic acid, and ethylene glycol is used as an accelerator. The reaction requires less than 5 min. Only 25 µl of serum is needed. We present precision data (x = 2.62 mg/dl, SD = .082 mg/dl, CV = 3.13%) and results (r = .998) as compared with those obtained by an automated Jendrassik—Grof method.

Abstract A method is described for rapid determination of water in ensiled fodder materials. The procedure is based on a brief homogenization of 10—20% suspensions of samples in ethanol followed by titration of gravimetric aliquots with Fischer reagent. It has been found that the concentration of water in the alcoholic phase quickly reaches an equilibrium that is linearly related to the proportion of sample in the mixture and, accordingly, equal to the concentration of water in the suspended tissue. The uniformity of distribution of water simplifies both the aliquoting and the calculation. No interfering reactions have been encountered and the recovery of added water is close to 100%. Ethanol as solvent gives less variable results than either methanol or ethylene glycol. Incorporation of a dry box in the titration apparatus considerably improves the precision of the titration. Coefficient of variation of the titration is about 0.2%.

Abstract The absorbance at 450 mµ of serum diluted with acidified ethylene glycol is used as a measure of the serum's total bilirubin content in a single-tube, single-extraction method for rapid determination of free and total bilirubin in 0.1 ml. of serum. With the addition of chloroform, free bilirubin is extracted into the chloroform but conjugated bilirubin remains in the ethylene glycol. Free bilirubin is determined from the absorbance at 450 mµ in the chloroform layer. Conjugated bilirubin is calculated from the difference. Absorbance readings at 520 mµ compensate for the absorbance at 450 mµ, due to hemoglobin in the serum. Comparison with the Malloy-Evelyn procedure showed equivalent levels of total but higher levels of conjugated bilirubin.

In studying ion implanted semiconductors and fast neutron irradiated metals, the need for characterizing small dislocation loops having diameters of a few hundred angstrom units usually arises. The weak beam imaging method is a powerful technique for analyzing these loops. Because of the large reduction in stacking fault (SF) fringe spacing at large sg, this method allows for a rapid determination of whether the loop is faulted, and, hence, whether it is a perfect or a Frank partial loop. This method was first used by Bicknell to image small faulted loops in boron implanted silicon. He explained the fringe spacing by kinematical theory, i.e., ≃l/(Sg) in the fault fringe in depth oscillation. The fault image contrast formation mechanism is, however, really more complicated.
