✦ Synopsis

The sensitivity for the determination of lithium by emission in the nitrous oxide-acetylene flame rivals that of graphite furnace atomic absorption and is freer of chemical interference. Details of its application to analysis of organs of small animals for lithium at physiological (normal) levels are presented. Matrix matching and standardization by additions are unnecessary.
