Abstract
A METHOD was previously developed1 for the direct colorimetric estimation of elastin by treating a sample of tissue with orcein. All free stain is removed and elastin hydrolyzed with elastase (pancreatin). The stain which is brought in this way into solution is then photometrically estimated.
