Abstract
A colorimetric method for the determination of serum sodium is described in which sodium is precipitated from the deproteinized serum by uranyl zinc acetate under conditions chosen to minimize the time required. After washing, the precipitate is taken up in water and the amount of color developed on the addition of sodium salicylate is measured.
