✦ Synopsis


A method is described for the quantitative determination of poly(ethylene glycol) having an average molecular weight of 3400. The method is based on a measurement of the intensity of light which is scattered by the turbid suspension produced by addition of the polymer to Nessler's solution. Small amounts of plasma proteins (0.001 mg/ml) drastically diminished the turbidity. This interference can be eliminated by prior adsorption of the protein on Al(OH), gel.

' PEG = poly(ethylene glycol), poly(ethylene oxide), polyoxy-ethylene. Chemical formula: HOCH,CH,-(CH,CH,O),CH,CH,OH.

PEG-4000 signifies a heterogeneous mixture having an average molecular weight of 4000.
