Abstract
VARIOUS fluorometric methods are employed in determining riboflavin and thiamin. The fluorescent substance is freed, and in the final stage is compared with solutions of known concentration. Weisberg and Levin1 recommended the use of a block-comparator, but later authors2,3,4 employ a photo-cell connected with a galvanometer for testing the intensity of fluorescence. These photocell arrangements, however, are very expensive.
