The Difference

Abstract The method of Gitelson et al. was modified to a microscale procedure and adapted for atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Oxalic acid in urine is precipitated with excess of calcium ions at pH 5. The excess of calcium present in the supernate and the total calcium added and present in the urine at pH 2 are determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The oxalic acid present in the precipitate is calculated indirectly from the difference between the two determinations of calcium. This method is useful for routine determination of urinary oxalic acid.

The Difference

Abstract An atomic absorption spectrophotometric (AAS) method was collaboratively studied by 8 laboratories from Africa, the United States, Australia, and Europe. The samples were dispersed in deionized water. After centrifuging and filtering, the water-soluble copper in the filtrate was acidified and measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, in an airacetylene flame, at 324.7 nm. The results from 7 laboratories were satisfactory and no unfavorable comments were received. Repeatability standard deviations ranged from 0.005 to 0.023, and reproducibility standard deviations ranged from 0.012 to 0.062. When compared with the bathocuproine method, the difference in bias between both methods is not significant. They were both adopted as full CIPAC methods, with the bathocuproine method as the referee method. Both methods have been adopted official first action.

Abstract The atomic absorption method studied last year was re-examined and extended to include calcium and sodium. The procedures were submitted to 16 collaborators for determination of Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Na, and Zn. Results for Ca and Na were discouraging; further study is recommended.

Aoac Method

Abstract The official first action AOAC method for the spectrophotometric determination of biuret in urea, 2.072—2.074, was compared with official first action AOAC method 2.C01-2.C03 (atomic absorption spectrophotometry), 2 simplified versions of 2.072-2.074, and modified versions of 2 alternative procedures of the International Organization for Standardization. Three synthetic urea samples (0.3, 1.4, and 3.0% biuret) and 1 commercial urea sample (1.0% biuret) were analyzed. The methods proved to be equivalent and none showed a definite advantage over 2.072-2.074. The purification of biuret and the interference by ammonia are also discussed.
