Abstract
SUMMARY: Our present knowledge of the two main reactions responsible for the form of the Feulgen hydrolysis curve is summarized. A suggestion that hydrolysis slightly above room temperature and in 5 M HCl is preferable is made and discussed. A formula making it possible to calculate the appropriate hydrolysis time at any normally used acid concentration and temperature is presented.Keywords
