Abstract
A method for handling volatile solid samples in organic microanalysis is described in which the sample is sealed and weighed in a metal capsule. That is, the sample for carbon and hydrogen by the conventional micro-Pregl method is sealed in an aluminum foil capsule, that for nitrogen by the micro-Dumas method is sealed in it with 5060 mg of cobalt oxide and that for nitrogen by the sealed tube combustion in decimilligram determination is sealed in a copper foil capsule of approx. 0.02 mm thickness.
The method is simple and accurate and requires no special attachments.
