Abstract
Salicylate, as the o-hydroxybenzoate anion, can be rapidly estimated by the intense luminescence of its terbium complex formed by diluting serum or urine two 2 hundred-fold with a 2 × 10−2 molar solution of terbium acetate (TBAc3) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The reaction is virtually instantaneous. Protein removal from serum is not required. Recovery from urine was 98.8 ± 2.4 percent (mean ± SD, n = 12). Recovery from serum was 85.1 ± 5.1 percent (mean ± SD, n = 12). The concentration range studied was 2.5 × 10−4 to 10−2 molar.Keywords
