Abstract A procedure is recommended in which small amounts of copper in rubber can be measured quantitatively by determining the depth of color of a copper carbamate complex in a carbon tetrachloride solution. The complex is formed in an alkaline solution prepared from an acid extract of the rubber ashed at 550° C. This procedure yields results which are as reliable as those obtained by the more tedious and time-consuming procedures involving the wet-oxidation process which are at present recommended by standardizing organizations. The use of an organic solution rather than an aqueous suspension gives better reproducibility, permits easier use of a photometer, and reduces the interference due to iron by a factor of ten.

Abstract A procedure has been described for the quantitative determination of copper and iron in one serum sample. The sera are wet ashed to destroy organic material, leaving inorganic salts available in the residue for the subsequent spectrophotometric determination of iron as the ferrous-1,10-phenanthroline complex in the aqueous phase, and copper as the cuprous-2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline in an organic extract phase.
