Abstract The described method should be of value as a rapid Screening process to eliminate serum containing a nonphysiologic high amount of iodine, thereby preventing contamination of other samples in the ashing oven. The advantage over other published methods is that it does not require special reagents or special equipment. The sensitivity is in the range of 300-400 µg. and total time required about 15-20 minutes.

Abstract A rapid screening method using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry has been developed for the detection and semiquantitative estimation of brominated vegetable oils in soft drinks. This method and a quantitative GLC technique have been applied to the determination of the brominated oil content in a wide range of soft drinks. Of 46 drinks examined, 23 contained brominated vegetable oils at levels between 7 and 85 mg/10 fluid oz of drink.

Modifications made to the procedure for the 1–2 Test™ System (BioControl Systems, Inc., 19805 North Creek Parkway, Bothell, WA 98011) resulted in reducing the time required for analysis by 24 h, while maintaining a high level of agreement with the standard culture procedure. Of 283 samples tested, 73 (25.8%) were found to be naturally contaminated with Salmonella by all analytical conditions combined. The standard culture procedure detected 73 of the contaminated samples, whereas the 1–2 Test™ system, as utilized in this study, found 70 samples to be positive for Salmonella. The modified 1–2 Test™ System procedure yielded a presumptive positive result after 48 h, compared to the 96 h required with the standard culture method, and 72 h with the 1–2 Test™ System as previously evaluated in this laboratory (8).
