A substoichiometric radiochemical method has been developed for the determination of microgram amount of cobalt utilizifig potassium ethyl xanthate as a reagent. The effect of pH and the foreign ions on the substoichiometric extraction of its ethyl xant hate complex into chloroform was also studied. Microgram amounts of cobalt was determined with an average error of ±1.42%.
