Pacific Northwest Research Foundation, Inc., and Laboratory of Pathology, Swedish Hospital, Seattle, Washington Specimens of serum submitted for the yses by drying 50-/xl. aliquots on aluminum determination of protein-bound iodine may foil planchets, as previously described.* contain concentrations of nonphysiologic Individual clean glass micropipets were iodine compounds sufficient to yield cross- used for each serum, in order to eliminate contamination of other specimens being the possibility of cross-contamination. The analyzed. The value of a procedure for the planchets were mounted for counting in the detection of these contaminated specimens circular aluminum holders supplied with the 1 5 8 is well established.
