Abstract
IN biochemical literature various metals are considered to be related to proteins present in the human body. These metals can be regarded as ‘tracers’ for these proteins. It was thought worth while to try to estimate these proteins by analysing ash of tissues and body liquids by means of the spectrograph for these metals. The direct-current carbon arc gives satisfactory results.
